Tourists had to wait a bit longer to get to the top of the Eiffel Tower on Monday morning. French officials delayed the opening of the Parisian landmark after discovering two drunk Americans sleeping inside.
According to French authorities, two inebriated men were found around 9:00 a.m. sleeping off the alcohol they had consumed the night prior. The Americans allegedly purchased tickets to the attraction at 10:40 p.m. Sunday night and hopped over security barriers rather than using the standard elevator or stairs. According to BBC, Paris prosecutors told AFP News Agency that the two men “appear to have got stuck because of how drunk they were.”
