The main attraction of Paris is under threat. The Eiffel Tower is covered with rust, so it needs urgent repairs. And, according to experts, everything is much more serious than we think.
The other day, The Guardian released an article in which he said that the mayor’s office plans to refurbish the Eiffel Tower for the Olympic Games, which will be held in Paris in 2024. However, according to experts, the procedure, which costs 60 million euros, can only aggravate the situation. In their opinion, the structure must be completely dismantled, repaired and repainted, otherwise corrosion can only increase.
However, Sete, the company that manages the Eiffel Tower, does not want to close it for an extended period due to loss of income. The symbol of Paris is visited by about 6 million people a year, so the closure can be very expensive. So, in 2020, the company lost 52 million euros.
