Antigen test for visitors to the Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower, which is again receiving visitors after 8.5 months of forced closure, from Wednesday is also available to tourists without a "sanitary pass" confirming full vaccination, a recent negative test or immunity from coronavirus.

Visitors without this document must pass an antigen test in tents set up in front of each of the two entrances to the Eiffel Tower, the operating company Sete said.

For French citizens, the test is free, and foreign tourists must pay 25 euros.

Since the resumption of the reception of tourists last Friday, from 10,000 to 13,000 people visit the "iron lady" daily, which corresponds to half of the number of visits in the period preceding the pandemic.
