            Olympics Threaten To Erase Riverside Booksellers - Paris

            Open-air booksellers are seen in Paris, France, on August 17, 2023. The open-air booksellers who line the Seine in Paris are refusing to be moved, despite concerns from French authorities over security for the opening of the Olympic Games on the river. The ceremony on July 26 next year will be the first in Olympic history to take place outside a stadium. 200 “bouquinistes”, who make up the largest open-air book market in Europe, were up in arms over a letter sent to them this week by the Paris police authority. The missive said it was “essential” to “remove” the boxes fastened to walls along the river banks in which the sellers stock and display second-hand books. The police want a perimeter where “access and movement of persons are regulated” to ensure the security of a “place or event exposed to a risk of acts of terrorism”.
