Narrative:
We were on about a 4 mile final and when I selected gear down we got a left/G gear not down locked ECAM message. We went around and began our procedures. We complied with the ECAM and did a landing gear gravity extension which was successful. We called ahead to maintenance to have a tug tow us to our gate and after landing we exited a high speed taxiway and stopped. The tug was there right away and towed us to the gate. There was an aircraft swap and we continued on with our original pairing.
