Last Frigo in Paris: City Plan Threatens Piece of Its History

Buildings on the surface of the "Tunnel des Artisans", the city's last natural fridge or 'frigo', in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, France, on Saturday, Feb. 25, 2023. The area of almost 15,000 square meters of cavernous stone vaults, once the beating heart of Frances wine trade and home to artisanal merchants, is under threat from an urban planning project ahead of the Olympic Games next year that could transform the site, wiping away traces of its past.
