The Eiffel Tower receives much fewer visitors than usual due to the emerging corona virus.

The head of the "SET" operator, Jean-Francois Martins, told the "RTL" radio station, the day before yesterday, that since the beginning of the study, last September, there was only between 10 and 20% of the usual number of visitors.

He mentioned that there is an advantage for visitors who are currently visiting the tower from anywhere in France, which is that they do not have to wait.

It is noteworthy that the tower, which is more than 130 years old and not far from the Seine, is visited by up to seven million people annually.

After a forced stop of work for more than three months due to the Corona virus, the Parisian landmark, which has a height of 324 meters, reopened its doors at the end of last June.

Tourism in the French capital, Paris, and other attractions such as the Louvre and the picturesque neighborhood of Montmartre, are suffering greatly due to restrictions imposed to limit the spread of the epidemic.

The Eiffel Tower, or "Iron Lady" as it is known in France, was built for the Paris World Exposition, and was completed in 1889.

It is mentioned that health rules must be adhered to when visiting the tower.

There is an advantage for guests ... that they do not have to wait.

7 million people visit the famous landmark annually.
