Paris: The last physical tourist information centre in Paris has closed, with officials saying Monday they will boost digital services to meet visitor demand for online information.
"Changes in visitor habits and the specific features of a city like Paris have led us to revise our network of local tourism information," the Paris Tourist Office operator said in a statement.
The last centre, set up near the Eiffel Tower for last year's Summer Olympics, was shut on Sunday.
The temporary structure had replaced an older tourism office at city hall "but was never very popular", Le Parisien newspaper reported.
The Paris Tourist Office said it would set up 50 information points at newsstands, post offices and hotels across the city by 2026.
