The Eiffel Tower reopened to the public Tuesday following a day-long closure linked to a staff strike. Employees were protesting "directives" that led to the exclusion of female staff members during a visit by a conservative Hindu religious group.

The incident raises questions about the monument's admission policies and respect for non-discrimination principles in French public spaces.
