A $22 million barrier around the Eiffel Tower

Paris is spending 20 million euros to build a protective barrier around the Eiffel Tower to replace the temporary structures that were put in place after a series of terrorist attacks.

Temporary barriers were sporadically lifted in 2015 and have been in continuous operation since France hosted the football championships.

The new perimeter will include the space below the tower, as well as two ponds on either side of it, which will be able to stop bullets and vehicles. Tourists will be free to enter the area after a security check, with the required payment only to climb the Tower itself.

I believe that the measure of creating a barrier is appropriate since with the latest terrorist attacks we must begin to take measures and make terrorists see everything that can be done to put an end to these situations.
