    A strike for the removal of these wheels would have my most enthusiastic support.

    • Matt DeNero says:

      I was there last May. It was my first time, so you can imagine my disappointment to see the grand staircase of grand staircases marred by such nonsense.

  • Sue Sonata Form says:

    The French love demonstrations and strikes. It’s their schtick. Macron will smooth it over with some virtue-signalling rhetoric, I’m sure.

  • John Rook says:

    Beautifully worded apology, isn’t it?
