Eiffel Tower Closes Amid Labor Protests [Video]

Tourists wanting to visit the Eiffel Tower on Thursday were disappointed as they arrived on location, only to discover that the edifice was closed to the public due to national strikes taking place all over France against proposed labor reforms. 

"It's bad luck for us because we're only here today, we leave in the evening so we, yeah... We have no chance to see Paris from the Eiffel Tower," German tourist Rene said as he was walking away with his wife and child.
