I heard that the Eiffel tower will close for renovations, which will last about 16 months and be completed in 2013. After hearing this I looked all over the internet and couldn't find anything on this topic. Does anybody have any additional info about this? Thanks!!!
I didn't pay close attention but it was on the French news two nights ago that they will be remodeling the visitors center and adding some sort of glass floor somewhere. I don't remember if they said it would be closed.
According to this Oct 12 article, the ET will be open during the renovation. http://www.connexionfrance.com/Eiffel-Tower-glass-floor-facelift-13068-view-article.html
