Staff at the Paris landmark went on strike because they were fed up with being hassled by pickpockets. The iconic attraction, in common with other Paris sites, is not just a magnet for tourists but also for pickpockets and conmen. Now staff there followed similar action at the Louvre by closing the tower until management took measures to improve safety.
Paris police have produced a leaflet giving tourists advice on staying safe in Paris, especially aimed at Asian tourists who are more likely to have cash rather than the credit cards westerners prefer.
