Eiffel Tower FORCED to Close—Scorching Heat Grips Paris in Brutal Wave!

Paris is sweltering under a relentless heatwave this week, and it’s not just us locals feeling it. Even the Eiffel Tower isn’t immune to the weather. Officials decided to close the top of the tower temporarily today.

Turns out, extreme temperatures can make things a bit risky up there. Visitors can still access the lower levels, but the summit? Off-limits for now. Safety comes first, even when it means missing out on that famous view. Honestly, who could blame them?

Climbing metal stairs in the blazing sun sounds like a recipe for heatstroke. No word yet on when the top will reopen, but for now, the city’s most famous attraction is taking a bit of a breather.

Check the latest updates at the Official Eiffel Tower website.

Overview

With temperatures climbing steeply in Paris, local authorities have declared a red alert for the Île-de-France region.

This heatwave, peaking at 40°C, has prompted temporary measures at notable landmarks.

The summit of the Eiffel Tower is closed to visitors for two consecutive days.

Safety Measures Implemented:

• The Tower’s summit is off-limits on July 1 and 2, 2025.
• Only the first and second levels remain accessible to the public.
• Ticket holders for the closed summit receive automatic refunds, including for missed guided tours.

Extra care is taken for both guests and staff, especially given the extreme heat at higher elevations.

Official communication suggests that refunds are processed without requiring any extra steps from visitors.

If you’ve got a booking, keep an eye on your email for payment details—sometimes these things get lost in the shuffle.

To help prevent heat-related illness, several water stations have been set up leading up to the monument.

Simple advice: bring a hat, drink plenty of water, and don’t underestimate the Parisian sun.

For those still heading for a day out, cheap and free outings across Paris continue as planned.

Sunday openings for museums and monuments are set to go ahead, helping both locals and tourists find activities during the heat.
