This is the best summary I could come up with:
Two American tourists in Paris have been found sleeping inside the Eiffel Tower after getting stuck while drunk, according to prosecutors.
They paid to visit the landmark at around 22:40 (20:40 GMT) on Sunday and hopped security barriers while coming down the stairs, police said.
The men "appear to have got stuck because of how drunk they were", Paris prosecutors told the AFP news agency.
A specialist firefighter unit for rescuing people from heights were sent to recover the men, the agency reported.
It comes after two bomb scares at the tower on Saturday forced the monument to be evacuated twice in the same day.
The Eiffel Tower, which was built in the 1880s and stands at 300m (984ft), attracted 5.8 million visitors last year.
