Eiffel Tower Regains Familiar Form, Olympic Rings Debate Continues
The Eiffel Tower, an iconic symbol of Paris, has regained its familiar appearance after workers removed the Olympic rings that adorned it during the 2024 Summer Games. However, the debate over the rings' future continues, with Mayor Anne Hidalgo proposing their return as a tribute to the successful Olympics.The 30-tonne steel rings, installed in June, were removed in the early hours of Friday using multiple large cranes. They will be melted down and recycled. Hidalgo's proposal to erect new, lighter rings has sparked controversy, with descendants of the tower's designer, Gustave Eiffel, and conservation groups expressing opposition.Initially suggesting the rings be permanent, Hidalgo has since proposed they remain until the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. Deputy Paris Mayor Pierre Rabadan stated that the new rings, funded by the International Olympic Committee, would be less prominent than the originals.Some Parisians support the idea of replacing the rings, seeing them as a reminder of the city's Olympic triumph. However, others believe the tower should be preserved in its original form, free from advertising. Culture Minister Rachida Dati has also expressed concerns about the proposal's impact on the tower's historic status.Beyond the Olympic rings, Hidalgo aims to retain other symbols of the Games, such as the cauldron at the Louvre and statues of women in the Seine. However, conservation groups urge the city to prioritize maintenance of the Eiffel Tower, which has faced issues with disrepair.The removal of the Olympic rings marks a return to normalcy for the Eiffel Tower, but the debate over their future is far from over. Hidalgo's proposal to reinstall them as a tribute to the Olympics remains a contentious issue, balancing the desire to commemorate a historic event with the preservation of a beloved landmark.
Parisian Volunteer Enchants Spectators at Eiffel Tower Olympic Venue
Joévin Burnel, a lifelong Parisian, has witnessed the Eiffel Tower countless times. Yet, the iconic structure continues to captivate him, especially during the Olympic Games. As a spectator experience volunteer at the Stade de Tour Eiffel, Burnel has spent countless hours at the venue, marveling at the beach volleyball matches and the breathtaking sunsets."It's magical," Burnel enthuses. "This is the best sports venue in the world, and it's right in my city." Despite not playing beach volleyball himself, Burnel is captivated by its fast-paced action and the vibrant atmosphere surrounding the temporary stadium.Burnel's Olympic experience has been enriched by the success of French swimmer Leon Marchand. However, he expresses a tinge of regret at not having collected any Olympic pins. "Everyone in the media tribune has so many pins," he says, pointing to his empty lanyard.Despite the long hours and physical demands of his volunteer role, Burnel remains enthusiastic. "I'm tired, but I'm happy," he says. "This has been an incredible experience."Burnel's passion for the Olympics and his love for Paris are evident in his dedication to providing a memorable experience for spectators. He believes that the Stade de Tour Eiffel is a testament to the city's ability to host world-class sporting events.As the Olympic Games draw to a close, Burnel reflects on the unforgettable moments he has shared at the Eiffel Tower. The magic of the structure, the excitement of the beach volleyball matches, and the camaraderie among volunteers have created memories that will last a lifetime.
Eiffel Tower Evacuated as Man Scales Landmark Before Olympics Closing
Eiffel Tower Evacuated as Man Scales Landmark Ahead of Olympics Closing CeremonyParisian authorities swiftly evacuated the area surrounding the iconic Eiffel Tower on Sunday afternoon after a shirtless man was spotted scaling the 330-meter (1,083-foot) structure. The incident occurred just hours before the scheduled closing ceremony of the Olympic Games.The man's ascent was first noticed around 3 pm, with witnesses reporting seeing him above the Olympic rings adorning the second section of the tower. It remains unclear where he began his climb, but he was spotted just above the first viewing deck.Police immediately cordoned off the area and escorted visitors away from the tower. Some visitors who were briefly trapped on the second floor were allowed to exit approximately 30 minutes later.The Eiffel Tower served as a prominent backdrop during the opening ceremony of the Olympics, with renowned singer Celine Dion performing from one of its viewing areas. However, it was not expected to play a role in the closing ceremony, which was set to take place at the Stade de France in the northern suburb of Saint-Denis at 9 pm.The incident occurred as the Olympic competition drew to a close, and security services in Paris and beyond were shifting their focus to the closing ceremony. Over 30,000 police officers were deployed throughout Paris on Sunday, with approximately 3,000 officers mobilized around the Stade de France. An additional 20,000 police troops and security personnel were deployed in Paris and the Saint-Denis area to ensure safety on the final day of the Games.
