The Eiffel Tower was evacuated on Monday after a man was seen climbing up the iconic Paris landmark, one of France's biggest tourist draws, the operating company said.

The Eiffel Tower was evacuated on Monday after a man was seen climbing up the iconic Paris landmark, one of France's biggest tourist draws, the operating company said. "A climber has been spotted. It's the standard procedure. We have to stop the person, and in that case, we evacuate the tower," an official with the SETE operator told AFP. The esplanade underneath the monument was also evacuated, as was a large section of the adjacent Champ de Mars park. "We kindly advise our visitors to postpone their visit," SETE added on Twitter. Police have made contact with the climber but do not yet know why he began his ascent up the iron beams, a police source told AFP.

<p>The skeleton of an extremely rare form of dinosaur sold for more than two million euros ($2.3 million) at the Eiffel Tower in Paris&nbsp;on Monday.<br />
<br />
The bones of what scientists believe to be "probably a new species" of the carnivorous Allosaurus were discovered during a dig in Wyoming in the United States in 2013.<br />
<br />
The 150-million-year-old skeleton, which is 70 per cent intact, was snapped up by an unnamed French art collector, who promised that the specimen will be lent out to a museum.</p>

<p>The dinosaur, which is more than nine metres (30 feet) long and 2.6 metres high, lived during the late Jurassic period, said Eric Mickeler, of auction house Aguttes.<br />
<br />
He said it was the "only one of its species" to have yet been discovered.<br />
<br />
Dinosaur expert Eric Geneste had earlier told AFP it was impossible to "classify the skeleton yet as an allosaurus" because it was more robust, "with longer shoulder blades and a different number of teeth".<br />
<br />
"In fact, there are as many differences between it and an Allosaurus as between a human and a gorilla," he added.<br />
<br />
Japanese and Swedish telephone bidders also tried to buy the dinosaur, pushing the bidding above the 1.8 million euro estimate.<br />
<br />
The same French auction house sold an allosaurus called "Kan" for 1.1 million euros in 2016.<br />
<br />
<a disabled="disabled" id="m_748129832586152925LPlnk8927"></a>Mickeler said that "herbivores do not quite excite businessmen who buy dinosaurs the same way as carnivores do. They want to buy carnivores like themselves."<br />
