Protests in Paris and Martine Frank Images, Press and Feminist Struggles Photographic exhibit until March 7, 2027 In the 1970s, Martine Franck (1938-2012) photographed feminist struggles, primarily in Paris.

There are more than 484,000 trees in Paris! This makes Paris one of the most treed cities in Europe and here we’re only counting the «public» trees. trees lining public streets (96 500); trees in parks and gardens (36 500); trees in cemeteries (34 000); trees along the Péripherique (8000); trees in school yards and sports areas (9 000); trees in the bois de Boulogne et Vincennes (300 000) for a total of 160 species. Most trees in public spaces and lining streets live to just 60 to 80 years. Trees have a tough time dealing with pollution and other incidents of city life.

Here are a few of the trees deemed remarkable in our fair city. A list and map of 60 trees worth seeing is available on http://www.paris.fr Brochure: https://cdn.paris.fr/paris/2019/07/24/c99…
