A dispute over the Olympic logo becoming a permanent feature on the Eiffel Tower has intensified, as a French government minister seeks to assume de facto control of the monument from the city of Paris.
The popular landmark sported giant Olympic rings during this summer's Olympics and Paralympics. Paris's mayor Anne Hidalgo, who was encouraged by the popular success of the Games, wants to keep a version of the decoration on the tower until the next Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028.
