They must contact the Eiffel Tower’s management company. There are certain terms and conditions imposed on not just clicking but even using those pictures. So, these must be understood beforehand. So, this rule doesn’t apply to tourists using DSLRs. It’s mainly valid for professional photographers who click pictures of the Eiffel Tower for mass circulation.
