The Eiffel Tower in Paris, one of France’s most visited landmarks, will reopen to visitors next week.

Tourism officials plan to start by limiting the number of visitors to the tower, following its longest closure since World War Two.

Only the first and second floors will be accessible to visitors, and lifts will remain closed in the first stage of reopening.

All surfaces in well-travelled areas will be cleaned every two hours, and all visitors over the age of 11 will be required to wear masks. A full reopening is expected by 25 June.

The tower normally receives around seven million visitors per year, but France's tourism industry has been hit hard after a lockdown was imposed in March.
