Two American tourists were discovered asleep at the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris on Monday, having managed to evade security the previous night, as reported by the monument's operator on Tuesday.
Security guards woke up the men early in the morning during their routine rounds before the Eiffel Tower's 9:00 am opening time, according to Sete, the organization that manages the monument.
Paris prosecutors mentioned that the individuals seemed to have become stranded due to their high level of intoxication.
Both men were taken to the police station in the seventh district of Paris for questioning. Additionally, Sete stated its intention to file a criminal complaint. The incident of the two infiltrators was responsible for a delay of approximately an hour in the Eiffel Tower's opening to the public on Monday morning.
