Americans Abroad

Sigh. Security guards at the Eiffel Tower in Paris discovered two American tourists sleeping near the top of the structure as they prepared to open to visitors, Yahoo! News reported.

Paris prosecutors said the two dodged security the night before and "appear to have got stuck because of how drunk they were."

Firefighters were dispatched to collect the men, who were questioned by police; Eiffel Tower management company Sete said it would file a criminal complaint, although the pair didn't "pose any apparent threat." [Yahoo! News, 8/15/2023]
