Due to the heat, the Eiffel Tower will be closed early this weekend.

The manager of the Eiffel Tower has announced that due to high temperatures, the iconic landmark will close earlier than usual—specifically at 4 PM—on Saturday and Sunday this weekend. This decision follows the third heatwave in France since May, according to French news agency AFP. The tower, which stands 324 meters tall and attracts seven million visitors annually, typically remains open late at night during peak season. Similar measures have been taken by two major Paris museums, the Louvre and Musée d'Orsay, which have announced early closures starting Friday and throughout the week. Additionally, several cities in France have canceled planned fireworks displays for Bastille Day celebrations due to expected extreme heat and dry conditions.
