Paris attractions: Eiffel Tower and Louvre close early because of the heat

Due to an ongoing heatwave, popular tourist attractions in Paris have shortened their operating hours. The Eiffel Tower closes at 16:00 on Saturdays and Sundays, while the Louvre Museum operates until 16:00 through Monday. The Musée d'Orsay closes earlier starting Wednesday at 17:00. Temperatures in Paris reached around 35°C on Saturday, with 24 departments under the highest heat warning level 'Red.' The French meteorological service urged absolute vigilance due to oppressive heat conditions. During the summer holidays and national holiday, many people are traveling across France, with the SNCF ensuring normal high-speed train services but canceling some intercity connections during peak heat. This follows a similar heatwave in June that led to early closures at these landmarks.
