PARIS – Two American tourists were found sleeping off a heavy night in the heights of Paris’ Eiffel Tower on Monday, after dodging security the night before, the monument’s operator said on Tuesday.
Security guards roused the men “in the early morning” as they were making their rounds before the French landmark’s 9am opening time, publicly owned Eiffel Tower operator Sete said.The inebriated Americans spent their illicit night under the stars in a spot normally closed to the public, between the tower’s second and third levels, but “did not pose any apparent threat”, said Sete.
After paying for an entry ticket around 10.40pm on Sunday, the pair hopped security barriers while climbing down the stairs from the tower’s top, a police source said. Firefighters, including a specialist unit for recovering people from dangerous heights, were sent to recover the interlopers, the police source added.
