A delegation of BAPS Hindu monks visited the Eiffel Tower on Saturday as part of a visit to Paris to open a new temple
An investigation has been launched in France after female staff at the Eiffel Tower were replaced by male colleagues for the visit of a Hindu religious group.
A delegation of around 100 people linked to the Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) group visited the iconic landmark in Paris on Saturday.
Société d'Exploitation de la tour Eiffel (SETE), which runs the Eiffel Tower, had previously said the conditions imposed on female staff were not in line with its values "nor with the principles of equality between men and women".
