PARIS—France will close the Eiffel Tower and other tourism landmarks in Paris and draft in thousands more security forces on Dec. 8, to stave off another wave of violent protests in the country over living costs.
With protesters from the “yellow vest” movement calling on social media for “Act IV”—a fourth weekend of protest—Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said 89,000 police nationwide would be deployed to stop a repeat of last Saturday’s mayhem across France.
