It's so that people can see the opening ceremony from the parapets. The city has cited a security risk of having them there during the ceremony due to the expected crowds.
I’m so against this cultural destruction. Not the mention the live and livelihoods of these people! It’s like sanitising Paris so everyone gets a better view. I don’t agree with it , in case you wondered ;)
It's also just very Parisian and if they want to celebrate and highlight Paris and French culture at the Olympics, then why get rid of them? I am a bit concerned about the impact the Olympics are going to have on the city.
Bravo Moriah
I found this post via Judy’s restack. I can’t imagine Paris without the bouquinistes--what does the city want to put there during the olympics?
