Intoxicated American Tourists Spend Night on Eiffel Tower
TL;DR
Two American tourists were found sleeping inside the Eiffel Tower after a night of heavy drinking. Security guards discovered the inebriated men trapped in a restricted area between the tower's second and third levels. The Eiffel Tower's operator intends to file a complaint against the men, who posed no threat and were handed over to the police. This incident is the latest example of tourists misbehaving at famous landmarks worldwide, including a recent video of a tourist climbing across Rome's Trevi Fountain and an English tourist carving a note into the Colosseum in Rome.
