Tower bosses favour Ducasse

Alain Ducasse has provisionally won his bid to open restaurant operations 120 feet up the Eiffel Tower, after a secretive bidding process. Two areas, the food and drink operation and also the retail/souvenir space, were up for grabs.
The SETE (city council-controlled tower management company) has said that it thinks Ducasse should take the first and second floor food and drink space, although this decision still has to be officially validated by ‘La Ville de Paris’.
Smoking ban finalised
England’s restaurants will all become non-smoking from July 1, 2007, the government has announced. Prominent no-smoking signs must be displayed in all restaurants and pubs, and owners will be fined for failing to display the signs or to enforce the ban. Full details are still to be released.
The TUC’s (Trade Union Congress) General Secretary Brendan Barber said, “The UK’s pubs, bars and restaurants will become healthier places to work overnight, and in the longer term fewer workers will fall ill or die as a result of secondhand smoke.”
