Paris Closes Museums and Increases Security Ahead of Cost-of-Living Protests
Paris authorities closed major museums, including the Louvre, and deployed around 70,000 police officers ahead of planned protests against the high cost of living. The closures followed violent demonstrations last week involving fires, vandalism, and clashes with police. Tourists expressed frustration over unexpected shutdowns, while officials emphasized security and protection of cultural sites. The protests, involving students, labor unions, and activists, have also disrupted tourism, with hotel bookings declining amid concerns over ongoing unrest.
