French authorities evacuated the Eiffel Tower after a man was seen climbing the Paris landmark hours before the Olympics closing ceremony.
The shirtless man was seen scaling the 1,083ft (330m) tower on Sunday afternoon.
It was unclear where he began his ascent, but he was spotted just above the Olympic rings adorning the second section of the monument, just above the first viewing deck.
The closing ceremony is set to begin at the Stade de France in the Saint-Denis area, well away from the Tower, at around 9pm.
