Police cars and tape surrounded the streets below the tower and the bridge stretching across the Seine River to Trocadero Plaza.</p>

<p>Some tourists were still walking in the area but it was unclear if any were still inside the tower on Wednesday.</p>

<p>Two police officers at the scene said the operation was the result of a phone-in bomb threat.<br />
Eiffel Tower management did not respond to requests for comment.<br />
The 131-year-old tower usually gets about 25,000 tourists daily but visits are down this year because of coronavirus travel restrictions.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>While the Eiffel Tower is scheduled to be open every day, it occasionally closes because of suicide threats, bomb threats or labour strikes.</p>
