Paris can’t catch a break: widespread protests, garbage men strike, race riots and looting, and now a bedbug infestation.
A mere 10 months before the opening of the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics, the French capital is battling an invasion of bedbugs.
French authorities want to make sure the bedbugs don’t bite during the games and have started a drive to exterminate the pests.
Footage of the insects crawling around in high-speed trains and the Paris metro are widespread in social media, and many news articles reveal bedbugs in cinemas and even Charles de Gaulle airport.
