The Statue of Liberty was built in France by a French architect before being transported across the Atlantic and given as a gift to the fledgling United States. There's absolutely nothing wrong with using it here. Interestingly the same man contributed to both iconic structures: the Statue of Liberty and the one to which you're obviously referring.

French here. Very good reporting. Just a few mistakes: - The pool's name Bassin de la Villette is pronounced /veelett/, not /veeliett/. - The Oise river is pronounced /was/, not /oyz/. - About the hole being dug at Austerlitz, your numbers are mixed up on screen, showing 34 m wide and 50 m high (yet you say the opposite, so I think your graph is wrong) Finally, most Parisians don't like to take a dip in the Seine because the current is extremely strong and because the boat and barge traffic is very heavy. It's just too risky to swim in it outside of these official pools.

@JohnMckeown-dl2cl 10 ай бұрын

Politicians do have a habit of overpromising as you mentioned, but it looks like they might succeed. Nothing like having the whole world watching and the billions of euros that an event like the Olympics generates to get them to finally move forward. My only question is, can they keep it going or will people again start using it as an open air waste disposal site and it be allowed to slip back into the polluted past?

@BruneSixtine 10 ай бұрын

Of course politicians have this bad habit to not keep their promises. On the other hand people aren't responsible of the pollution in the Seine, they don't use it as an open waste disposal, the vehicles thrown into the Seine are borderline criminal activities. The fecal matter present in the Seine happens because of the sewer system which is too old, it's one of the world first system built in the 19th century. The main problem is that it's connected directly with the rainwater system. To solve this there are two parallel efforts, the separation of the 2 systems, and the creation of security tanks to collect rainwater in case it rains too much, so the rainwater wouldn't be evacuated into the sewer system and overflow into the Seine. The heavy costs are an investment, a useful one on the long term if the Seine river stays clean after the olympic games. Only a big flooding would pollute it again I guess.

We don't want these games in our country. They plan to make public transport between x2 and x3 for the period.. but we all know it will end up to be the new price because "people can pay" You know how much is an Airbnb night in Paris during the game actually ?

at 4:25 - this might be minor, but the visual states 34m wide and 50m deep but the voiceover mentions 50m wide and 34m deep. not sure which height scale works with the statue

GREAT VIDEO..Do you know Bitcoin is on its way to breaking records, getting closer to hitting new high prices, showing that it's gaining more value and could go even higher than we've seen before. This could mean great things for people looking to invest, suggesting now might be a good time to get involved before it jumps even higher. It's an exciting moment that could change the game in general...managed to grow a nest egg of around 1.2Biitcoin to a decent 6.4Biitcoin. At the heart of this evolution is indeko Glenn, whose deep understanding of both cryptocurrency and traditional trading has been instrumental. Her holistic approach to investment and commitment to staying abreast of market trends make her an invaluable ally in navigating this new era in cryptocurrency investment....

During the 1900 olimpics, the river Seine was filthy. The city dumped over 2,715,000 people waste water into the river. There weren't any sewage treatment plants, neither water quality analysis. So, let's hope that they improve the quality of the water behond the threshold of 1900.

The talk over says 50m wide by 34 m tall yet the diagram shows the opposite. Assuming it is 50m wide by 34 m tall it would hold the equivalent of a 0.64mm rainfall over the the 105 km2 area of Paris. Not sure that is going to help.

everytime a foreigner was in paris and a frenchman said "yes" in french, the foreigner obliged. hence the polluted river... Hopefully more cities take up the challenge, I really like the concept of these free to access riverside pools. Great way to build up community as well as activity

@jordanmntungwa3311 10 ай бұрын

similar solution to Japan's flooding problem but what took them take so long to implement the reservoir solution. Politics probably. I mean it's just a super large tank to catch the run off and then release it slowly so it doesn't flood the river. I'm sure French Engineers had suggested this a long time ago. It's now that there's Olympicsthat the poop matters. IN my country the most recent and modern rail system was built in 2010 to help foreigners move between Football stadiums for world cup. There was no development of public transport before and after the world cup. we still don't have trains

How strange that sewage and storm water are not separated. Digging up the streets would be a major problem to separate the two. Diverting storm water will not really help much.

The overflow is not separated... look again. Same problem exists in Great Britain, and other European countries.

@cumhachd 9 ай бұрын

This is common in older areas of most North American cities, and it's the long term plan in many places to separate sewers, but it's a massive and expensive effort that will take decades. I'd be surprised if no EU cities had combined sewers in older areas.

@Jgarf 9 ай бұрын

Honestly I’m doubtful that it can be done so quickly. It would be amazing if it was but so many old cities literally have no records of their CSO(combined sewage overflow) points and general sewage system so it is incredibly difficult to divert sewage from waterways as they don’t even know where these points or lines are. Storage tanks are also a good idea but ultimately are useless in the long run as there is a possibility that they could become completely full. Especially with larger storms due to climate change. What’s better is to have drainage into the grown through things like rain gardens. Obviously it’s harder to implement on a larger scale, especially when the city has so much pavement but rain gardens have been shown to massively reduce flooding as water is absorbed by the ground and bypasses sewer systems to reduce the amount of waste water that enters the sewers. Plus they look pretty

As a French living next to Paris and working here I can genuinely assure you that Olympics games are going to be a disaster mates. Nothing is ready, they spent many hundreds of millions euros to build, clean, improve things but 50% is ready right now. + you’ll discover that Paris isn’t the city of love anymore 😂😂😂 you’ll be afraid and be prepared regarding the high prices, every one wills to put their price higher for touris (restaurants, AirBnB, gifts etc etc..) they have told us to stay at home, to not come to Paris during Olympic Games because there won’t be enough places on the trains/metros/taxis etc They have even told the students to leave their students rooms (CROUS) in compensation of 100€ to let tourist sleep here for 300-400€ a night 😂😂😂😂😂 Welcome to France mates !

Fun fact : the river flowing through Paris should be called the "Yonne" ! Because where the "Seine" and the "Yonne" cross in the city of Montereau-Fault-Yonne. The "Yonne" river has a greater water flow. Bit historically they couldn't get a precise measurement and it just so, stayed like that. (For those who wonder the Seine has a 80 cubic meter/ second and the Yonne has a 93m³/s flowing rate.)
