Workers and management said the Paris landmark shut its doors Monday amid a labor dispute tied to an incident involving female staff and a religious delegation.
The landmark shut briefly following backlash over a reported request from a Hindu religious delegation to limit interactions with women during its visit, Al Jazeera reported.
The iconic Paris landmark shut down after staff objected to gender segregation during a Hindu organization's scheduled visit.
French authorities are examining claims that female employees at the Eiffel Tower were substituted with male colleagues ahead of a visit by a religious delegation, prompting a walkout that shut the landmark for a day.
