Bonjour Shannon,

Thanks for your commment. I’m sure that many frequent visitors to Paris share your view. The link to the petition referred to in Patrice Maire’s opinion piece is the following:

The associations Mont 14, SOS Paris and Collective Against the Triangle Tower (see links in the article) can best advise you on the best way to take part in their fight against the towers from home or when in Paris.

I am not wealthy and it can be a struggle to continue these holidays, but there is nowhere else I yearn to spend my time. I take an apartment and just imbibe Paris.

I spend no time at La Defense and actively avoid the ‘ modern ‘ business district, other than to pass through it, preferably by Metro, on my way to yet more beauty that to me is Paris.

The thought of tower in Paris is abhorrent and to me enters the concept if distraction. Why us it that some men need to impose their ‘ mark ‘ on the sublime and in so doing taint and destroy.

Please add my name to any petitions you instigate. I will be in Paris for September and will gladly that part, as a foreigner who adores Paris, I will gladly take part in any demonstrations you plan.
