“Wherever there are men, there are rats”
.
Cyril Hanouna reacts this Wednesday, November 30 to a sequence broadcast by CNews the day before and which has since gone viral.
The video in question shows a woman, interviewed by a journalist at the exit of the Paris metro, squirming and starting to take off - calmly - her coat.
"There's a bug that..."
she worries, smoothing the sleeve of her sweater.
She shakes her arm one last time and there, the surprise was total.
"There's a mouse in your bag... or a rat
," warns a young woman in the background.

“The rats are eating us up
,” launches the presenter of C8.
He recounts two anecdotes dating from a few days ago where he and his mother respectively saw rats in restaurants or “upscale” hotels in the capital.
Torn between laughter and disgust, the entire set reacts with horror to these events.
“We laugh about it but the situation is serious.
The rat is taking over the man, and Gilles is also worried.
Look, he's been turning into a rat for some time
,” jokes the presenter.
For the occasion, Pierre Liscia, regional councilor for Île-de-France was the guest of the C8 program in order to report on the situation.
“You have to keep in mind that there are 2 million Parisians and an estimated 6 million rats.
In itself, this is not inconvenient insofar as they are underground, in the sewer network.
Where it is more problematic is when they come to the surface in large numbers because the rats are disease propagators,”
he explains.

“Paris is an infested city”
The columnist Jean-Marie Bigard, obviously asking for more details, asks the councilor what is the ideal number of rats per inhabitant, the latter replies with humor:
“well, count them.
We could walk them on a leash too
, before continuing,
Paris is an infested city.
We have reached a stage of filth, of dirt which is unprecedented
.
And by broadcasting videos on TikTok among others, it is the image of the capital internationally that takes a hit.
For Pierre Liscia, there is no point in ratting the whole city.
There is only one solution:
“Let the streets be clean.
Paris is the only Western capital to experience such a scourge”.
The guest, who seems particularly in good shape, even goes so far as to try the pun:
“They say that Paris is the most beautiful city in the world, but today it is the trash city in the world”
.
Visibly proud of this joke, the regional councilor of Île-de-France arouses applause on the set.

Pierre Liscia
The video broadcast by CNews would not have been shot in Paris … but in Boulogne.
“It has nothing to do, the rat comes from the Paris metro.
I live in Boulogne and I can tell you, the rats don't come, I know them”
, quips Cyril Hanouna before being interrupted by Pierre Liscia who denounces a non-subject.
“The shooting was not in Paris.
Those who underline that want to make believe behind what?
That there are no rats in Paris?
, he gets annoyed.
