Eiffel Tower sees fewer visitors after Paris attacks

Paris

THE Eiffel Tower, one of the world's top tourist draws, saw visitor numbers drop after the devastating terror attack on the French capital last November.

The Iron Lady of Paris received 6.91 million visitors in 2015 compared with 7.1 million in 2014, according to the company that runs the 126-year-old monument. "Before the tragic events hit the capital in November, visits were up one per cent," the company SETE said.
