                         Eiffel Tower Reopens in Paris

   by VOA News

   In a powerful symbolic move, France's Eiffel Tower, Louvre museum and
   other attractions in Paris reopened to tourists Monday after a two-day
   shutdown.

   As darkness fell, the Eiffel Tower was floodlit in the red, white and
   blue of the French tricolor along with a projection of Paris' motto
   "tossed, but not sunk," suggesting an unsinkable city tossed in the
   waves.

   The tower will be lit up in blue, white and red on Tuesday and
   Wednesday.

   Across the French capital, thousands clasped hands outside some of the
   bullet-riddled nightspots targeted Friday, as children returned to
   school and city authorities vowed to resume normal life as quickly as
   possible.

   The carnage in Paris has upended the tourism sector in one of the
   world's most visited cities with hotel owners, tour operators and
   others in
   the industry hoping the expected drop-off in visitors will not last
   long.

   Disneyland Paris remained closed through Tuesday, after Islamist
   militants launched coordinated attacks across the city killing at least
   129 people in locations of the type that might be visited by tourists.
