Before this happened the mayor of Paris said she’d swim in it to prove it’s safe…
But she announced when, so everyone shit in the river in the lead up apparently. The levels were ridiculously high so she postponed and did it on a random day.

There’s no spite like French spite 😂
All that would prove is that she is a idiot.
well, ain’t that some shit
