The new Athens mayor Kostas Bakoyannis carried out a lightning visit to Paris on the day after he was sworn in to see how the French capital handles sanitation and rubbish collection, the Municipality of Athens announced on Thursday, according to ANA.
He was at the sanitation depot in a central Paris district at 4:30 on Tuesday morning and stayed until late on Tuesday night, observing the processes of waste collection, the cleaning of roads and pavements, as well as the cleaning of bins, removal of graffiti, recycling methods and the equipment used in these processes.
Paris is a city that faces many of the same challenges as Athens, such as a large number of visitors and many historic monuments and buildings.
