PARIS, France — The Eiffel Tower in Paris welcomed 6.3 million visitors last year, its management company said Friday, more than came in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic. France's "Iron Lady" boasted up to 7 million visits in 2014 and 6.2 million five years later. Non-French Europeans accounted for 44%, with the largest numbers coming from Germany, Britain and Spain. Paris's major museums, another of the French capital's top attractions, also returned to pre-COVID visitor numbers or even set new records last year.
