Emmanuel Macron has decided to renounce the movement of second-hand booksellers from the quays of the Seine during the 2024 Olympic Games. Last summer, book sellers were informed that for security reasons, several hundred boxes of books would have to be temporarily moved a few days before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games on July 26.
Since then, they have been fighting to keep these boxes in place, sealed during the preparations. Some 16 million tourists are expected in the capital during the Games.
