The Eiffel Tower resumed operations on September 8, 2026, following a staff strike triggered by allegations that female employees were told to 'make themselves invisible' during a BAPS delegation visit.
Parisian authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, where management reportedly replaced female staff with men to accommodate the religious group's specific protocol requests.
The BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha has issued a clarification, stating they did not request the removal of women, while the incident has sparked a broader debate on workplace equality in France.
