Welcome to 2017 in Europe.

Le provisoire va finalement virer au… permanent. Les barrières installées depuis le mois de juin assez peu esthétiques vont être remplacées dans le courant de l’automne par un mur de verre. « Une clôture antiballes qui englobera l’essentiel des jardins de la tour Eiffel », a indiqué Bernard Gaudillère, président de la Société d’Exploitation de la tour Eiffel aux élus siégeant au Conseil de Paris. Une « clôture de sécurité » qui devrait coûter 20 M€ et s’élever, selon nos informations, à 2 m50 de haut.

They are just replacing a more unpleasant looking fence that presently sits around the Eiffel Tower.

I heard it's a bullet proof glass wall.

Yes it is and presently its chain link fencing which looks horrible. If they are going to surround it with glass, they may as well make it bullet proof. The problem I see is, its going to get defaced with graffiti pretty quickly.
