Greenpeace France activists climbed up the crane close to “Notre Dame" - the highest crane in Europe - to deploy a 20 meters long banner with the message "Climate : act now". Simultaneously, a climber rappeled below the crane, holding a hand banner stating "Macron : Notre Drame".

A very subtle wordplay, as "Notre Dame" = the name of the building and if you just add an "r", "Notre Drame" = our drama).

We're urging Emmanuel Macron, the French President, to really fight against climate change instead of just repeatedly making empty promises.
