The Eiffel Tower was closed for safety reasons on Monday as workers cleared up the "fan zone" at its base amid official relief that the competition had ended without any serious security incidents. French police arrested 40 people overnight after the Eiffel Tower fan zone reached its 90,000-capacity, leaving some frustrated at being unable to watch a match that France ultimately lost 0-1 to Portugal. France has been under emergency rule since Islamist militants killed 130 people last November in multiple attacks on Paris and outside the Stade de France stadium where the final match was played on Sunday night.
