"That's it, it's the end of the tour of Paris!"
In a short video published this Thursday at midday, Ludovic the intrepid garbage collector lets his emotion run down his cheeks.
He announces that he has completed his tour of the capital in a rolling bag, this trash can mounted on wheels that has become the essential companion of his hundreds of videos.
He had thrown himself headlong into this mission, which began on Tuesday, in order to raise awareness among those who follow him on social networks – his audience exceeds 260,000 people on TikTok – of the need to throw his waste in the trash.
In two and a half days of walking, the Parisian cleaner covered 56 km.
He alone collected 48 bags of collected waste, i.e. 4,800 liters in total.
"Honestly, I didn't think I would be able to do it.
I'm completely knocked out, I have pain everywhere, but everything is fine!
“, he lets go facing the camera, a bob screwed on the head.
Since Tuesday 8 a.m., Ludovic has given of himself.
He also revealed this Thursday morning an injured ankle, which did not prevent him from completing his tour.

Triumphant, the star garbage collector is more legitimate than ever to convey the message that is so close to his heart.
“Now please throw in the trash, that's the most important thing.
It was my message during these three days, the tour of Paris was used for that”, he addresses “all the people who (him) supported, on Twitter, on TikTok, on Instagram.
On social networks, messages of encouragement poured in from all sides to help Ludovic achieve his goal.
The Parisian cleaner was even joined on his route by colleagues from the City.
His challenge barely taken up, Ludovic already seems to have his feet tingling at the idea of a new goal.
"I'll give you an appointment for even bigger courses," he exclaims at the end of the video.
Without revealing more, for the time being, on the rest of his adventures…
