The world-renowned Eiffel Tower in Paris<\/a> shut its doors on locals and international tourists on Thursday amid a nationwide strike.<\/p>\n

As crowds of protesters marched from Place d\u2019Italie toward the Eiffel Tower, the tower\u2019s management announced in a statement that the landmark was closed to visitors due to the strike, according to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Thousands of workers, retirees and students took to the streets of more than 200 towns and cities across France<\/a> on Thursday, protesting spending cuts and demanding higher taxes on France\u2019s wealthy.<\/p>\n

A sign was posted outside the iconic landmark that said, “Due to a strike, the Eiffel Tower is closed. We apologize.”<\/p>\n

Nearly 200,000 people are protesting across the country, including 24,000 in Paris, according to the French Interior Ministry.<\/p>\n

“This is the first time that there are three days of strikes and protests in a month without a government or budget,” said Sophie Binet, head of the CGT, one of France\u2019s largest and most influential trade unions, per AP.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It shows the level of social anger.”<\/p>\n

The U.S. Embassy in France issued an alert to travelers visiting<\/a> Paris Sept. 18.<\/p>\n

“Avoid the areas of the demonstrations, exercise caution if unexpectedly in the vicinity of large gatherings or protests, [and] monitor schedules with local and national transportation providers,” the Embassy advised.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2024, the tower welcomed 6.3 million visitors, according to the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 d\u2019Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel, which operates the tower.<\/p>\n

About 16,500 tourists visit the tower daily, according to Guide to Paris.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last year, the tower was shut down between Feb. 19-24 due to a union employee strike.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Employees argued that Paris City Hall had underestimated the cost of the planned maintenance ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics<\/a>, Reuters reported at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In June, the Louvre, the world\u2019s largest art museum located in Paris, also closed its doors to visitors due to an employee strike, Fox News Digital reported at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Overtourism sparked by Leonardo da Vinci\u2019s\u00a0“Mona Lisa”<\/a>\u00a0may have in part prompted the strike, with\u00a020,000 people per day crowding the famous painting.<\/p>\n
