Anger over advert that drapes the Eiffel Tower in a hijab

A clothing brand specialising in Islamic dress has provoked a public row with an Instagram advertisement showing the Eiffel Tower swathed in a hijab, captioned: “The French government hates to see Merrachi coming.”

The tone of the advert for Merrachi has caused offence in France, which has banned the hijab in schools and public offices.
