Le Olympics and Cleaning up the Seine River

[Marshal Davout]

I think I've heard that the river might need some cleaning up before the Olympics;
so I remembered some people were doing this in the oceans !

I don't know whether these would help; but these are some of the Ocean cleaning up initiatives and some of their "ships" might be useful ?

and another one



( Not that I'm being critical of France; because surely the US has gotten places polluted too much in our own country ( which I should be able to say, because I am an american ! )

These boats or something like them might be able to help the river in time for the Olympics start !

More Olympics Excitement !

The Olympic Flame movement !

I got this from my Elysee email;
but your French is undoubtedly better than Moi; Ha !

Well I guess they have experience with cleaning the Seine river. Here is a video from 8 years ago where they were cleaning up the Canal Saint-Martin.



This was the area where the music video Amelie was filmed.



Cleaning the river will be a hard task but what might be even harder is getting rid of the graffiti and keeping it from coming back.
