Officials have not immediately provided further information about the incident, and it’s not known when the monument will reopen.
The official Eiffel Tower twitter account tweeted: “The Eiffel Tower is currently closed until further notice. We kindly advise our visitors to postpone their visit.”
This is not the first time a daredevil has attempted this particular feat. In 2015, British “freerunner” James Kingston climbed the edifice without safety ropes and without permission.
