Last weeks violence in France has forced authorities to close off major tourism sites, including the Eiffel Tower, due to fears the riots might re-occur.
Cultural Minister Franck Riester said “France cannot take the risk when they know what the threat is, adding that far-left and far-right agitators were planning to hijack rallies by “yellow vest” protests in France.”
The Louvre Museum, Osray Museum, Grand Palais and The Two Operas will remain closed for another week after rioters and looters defaced the Arc de Triomphe.
