The Eiffel Tower found itself at the center of a controversy this week after a private visit left some employees furious and eventually brought the iconic Paris landmark to a standstill.
The religious visit over the weekend has now triggered accusations of humiliation, a staff protest, political outrage, and an investigation into how the unusual arrangements were allowed in the first place.
The organization at the center of the controversy has since apologized, but the apology has done little to quiet the debate.
