Environmental activists from Extinction Rebellion occupy this Saturday morning a footbridge over the Seine, near the Eiffel Tower in Paris, to warn once again against "the climate emergency and the collapse of ecosystems".
The group's Twitter account, a French offshoot of the network created in 2018 in the United Kingdom, published photos of young activists installing signs along the catwalk as well as a piano for this "occupation" described as "festive", planned to last all weekend.

"In the world of tomorrow, we will have to change our relationship with others and with living things: collaborate rather than dominate, protect rather than destroy, share rather than appropriate", indicate the activists in a press release.
The action provides for round tables which are announced among others the sociologist Geoffroy de Lagasnerie or the political scientist Fatima Ouassak.
The group has been stepping up actions for two years, with blockades of streets or occupations of public places which sometimes give rise to police interventions, to denounce inaction in the face of global warming.
