Tourists dismayed as top of Eiffel Tower closes due to heat  The management of the Eiffel Tower closed its highest level to visitors due to a heatwave gripping Paris on Tuesday, July 1,  leaving tourists hoping to visit the top of the landmark disappointed. As well as the closure of the upper level at the 330-meter (1082 feet) high structure, authorities also said it would close early.  The heat was set to peak in France on Tuesday, reaching 40-41 degrees Celsius (101-105 Fahrenheit) in some areas and 36-39 C in many others, weather forecaster Meteo France said.  Sixteen departments will be on the highest level of alert from noon, with 68 on the second highest.

00:30We have just received an email and the tickets are cancelled, and we bought all of them three

00:51years ago, but just for the heat, it's not possible to go upstairs, so I don't know.

00:58I'm going to stay here and go around and try to buy or get another ticket, probably.

01:05How do you feel about this?

01:07A little bit disappointed, because I tried to get all organised before our departure, and the result is...

01:28that people think they had a higher altitude, so I'm going to place it.

01:32What?

01:33I don't know.

01:34I don't know.

01:35It's our...

01:36It's our...

01:37It's what it's going to do.

01:39It's a lot of fun.

01:40It's a lot of fun.

02:09It's a lot of fun.

02:38First, we thought that we would go up to Eiffel Tower, so now we will skip that.

02:43I think the upper part is closed and we thought that earlier we thought that we would be going

02:49up the stairs for the second floor, but we won't do that, we will skip that.

02:57Well yeah, but it's understandable because it would be so hot there up, so I understand

03:02why we can't go there, but yeah, I think it's still very nice and very beautiful.

03:08We'll hear it down also.

03:09Yeah?

03:10Yeah, I know.

03:11Yeah.
