Tip to save some money because of discrimination by vendors near the Eiffel Tower.

If your Chinese looking and speak Chinese, pretend you don't speak Chinese as the vendors approach you. If you have a significant other like me, have them go ahead of you. The first time I was with my wife we were offered I think it was 5 Euro for a small Eiffel Tower. I then had her go back with my daughter and pretend to not speak English, and the vendors actually spoke some Chinese and she got it for 2 Euro.

I remembered this because of driving by the Eiffel Tower replica in Las Vegas today.
