Paris is in a battle against bedbugs. Officials are working to tamp down the problem after numerous reported sightings around the French capital.
“No one is safe,” Paris deputy mayor Emmanuel Grégoire said Friday on X, formerly Twitter. He called for “coordinated measures” between health authorities and other stakeholders and has asked Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne to organize a conference on the fight against the insects. French Transport Minister Clement Beaune also said he would bring transit operators together to discuss the problem this week, aiming to “reassure and protect.”
Videos on social media appear to show the insects, which feed on the blood of humans and animals, crawling around everywhere from high-speed trains to buses. They have also been reported in cinemas and at Charles de Gaulle Airport.
