«Subject: Can Parisians Defeat the Towers? Aux armes, citoyens!
Aux armes, citoyens!


The twice-weekly English-language web magazine BonjourParis.com has just
published an article by Mary Campbell Gallagher about the threat of towers in Paris:

"Can Parisians Defeat the Towers?"

Attached is an image of the planned Project Triangle, the creation of Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron. A 50-story (180-meter) hotel-and-office building .


--- "So should we just give up on Paris?
No! Never give up! Whether blessed or lucky, Paris has a history not only of wanton destruction, but of heroic rescue. Victor Hugo saved the Cathedral of Notre Dame when the wreckers almost got it. General Dietrich von Choltitz saved Paris against Hitler's orders to destroy it. André Malraux saved the Marais. Indeed, legend says that in the late winter of A.D. 451, Saint Geneviève, the patron saint of Paris, saved Paris from Attila and the Huns.
What can we do?
Aux armes, citoyens! The preservationist organization SOS Paris seeks international support for its vigorous campaign against towers. You can join SOS Paris, or make a donation, in euros or dollars, on the web site. Join SOS Paris and help save Paris now!"
