paris - The French police have seized 20,000 kilos of miniature Eiffel towers. With the action, the authorities want to blow the large amount of illegal sellers around the top attraction in Paris.

The Eiffel towers were probably produced in China. They are marketed in the French capital from just 20 eurocents each, French media reports. More than a thousand boxes were taken on Monday and Tuesday at raids in the city.

Around the Eiffel Tower regular pursuits are seen between illegal sellers and agents.
