One of the wonders of the world, Eiffel Tower in Paris was closed on 9th April, 2015 because of a strike by the workers against the austerity policies of the French government. The” Iron Lady” attracts seven million visitors a year of which 90 percent are foreign tourists.

The strike at the Eiffel Tower is part of a wider industrial action called by the four trade unions in protest against cuts by the government in the name of austerity measures.
