PARIS - The Eiffel Tower will be closed on Saturday due to planned protests in the French capital, the site's operator said. 'The demonstrations announced on Sat. 8 in Paris do not allow us to welcome visitors in safe conditions,' SETE said in a statement. About a dozen museums, including the Grand Palais, cultural sites such as the Opera and shops in central Paris have also been ordered by police to close over fears of violence.
