France 3 has launched a new crime drama titled 'Le Crime de la tour Eiffel', directed by Julien Seri.

The monument, designed by Gustave Eiffel and celebrated during the 1889 World’s Fair, is the most visited paid monument worldwide and has become a symbol of Paris.

As the investigation progresses, the duo uncovers lesser-known aspects of the Eiffel Tower's history during World War II.
Bonaventura remarked on the unique experience of filming at the Eiffel Tower, highlighting access to previously undisclosed locations, including underground tunnels.
The storyline intricately weaves elements of historical memory with the present-day mystery.
