Letter to Mayor Delanoë

I Mailed My Letter Today to Mayor Delanoë
Have You Sent Yours?

This is a pressing issue that affects all who love Paris.

Plans are being made to construct new skyscrapers in the city—towers that will distort the skyline and disfigure the neighborhoods in which they will be built. A French association called SOS Paris is campaigning to stop this madness.

Please join me in writing a letter to Mayor Delanoë to express your discontent over these plans. The letter may be in English, but should be mailed to him via the post office, not sent by Internet.

Further information about how to proceed can be found on my Facebook page and on the SOS Paris Web site.

If you approve of this campaign, please “Like” my Facebook post entitled “An Open Letter to Mayor Delanoë,” comment on it, and share it with your friends.

And if you are in Paris, join SOS Paris on Saturday, December 8 at 3:00 p.m. at place de la Porte de Versailles to protest the plans to disfigure Paris! See you there!

Click here to learn how you can join the SOS Paris letter-writing campaign against skyscrapers in the City of Light. The time to act is NOW!

When oenologist Francis Gourdin began working for the city of Paris, his mission was to improve the quality of the wine produced in a vineyard that lies on the slope of Montmartre. It was once a plonk that “made the Japanese tourists wince,” but today, he can proudly affirm that it is a “true red wine.” Mission accomplished! Read his story in this month’s Paris Insights newsletter.
