The reopening of the Eiffel Tower came after France reopened to international tourists this summer, however, the entry rules vary widely depending on which country they are coming from.
The number of visitors has been nowhere near pre-pandemic levels given continued border restrictions and virus risks.
Early reservations for tickets during the French summer holiday period underline how the tourism industry in Paris has changed due to travel restrictions.
Martins said there was an “almost total absence” of British ticket holders, while only 15 percent were Americans and very few were from Asia.
Half of visitors are expected to be French, while Italians and Spanish make up a higher proportion than usual.
