A Call to Save History

They rallied together, demanding a massive cleanup to restore its former beauty and revive its spirit. This wasn’t just about appearances; it was about saving a beloved part of the city’s past, a place that held memories and meaning for so many. The time had come for action, and Paris was ready to step up.
