Eiffel Tower area in Paris
On August 12, French authorities evacuated visitors from three floors of the Eiffel Tower in Paris due to a security warning.
The Eiffel Tower management unit (SETE) said bomb disposal experts and police were searching the area, including the restaurant on one of the tower's floors.
According to a SETE spokesperson, this is normal procedure in such a situation but it rarely happens.
Tourists were evacuated from three floors of the Eiffel Tower and the square area below shortly after 1:30 p.m. (French time, 6:30 p.m. Vietnam time).
The Eiffel Tower was built in 1887 and completed more than 2 years later.
The Eiffel Tower is France's most famous symbol, attracting 6.2 million visitors last year.
