In the "you can't make this up" category...
France has a long history of citizens butting heads with the government, and it looks like they're starting to run out of ways for how that can manifest itself. That's because right now, people are upset with a $1.5 billion plan to clean up the River Seine ahead of the Paris Olympics so that it can be used for long-distance swimming events like in 1900. So, how are they planning on protesting? Well, if you guessed an organized effort to all rip deuces in the Seine on the day that the President of France and Mayor of Paris said they'd take dips in the river to show how clean it is, then pat yourself on the back for thinking like a Parisian.

Paris has always been overrated
But at least the Olympics are back on this side of the globe. If you survived Covid-19, e-coli is nothing. My biggest issue is European hotels are stingy with the soap they give their guests. Smuggle in some Irish Springs.
