With 17 days to go until the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, the pressure is mounting for the athletes, but also for the last inhabitants of the Marcel Paul housing estate on Île Saint-Denis, north of the capital. The three large, dilapidated towers of this estate, doomed for years to be demolished, are supposed to be closed before the Games: they are located between part of the Olympic village and a training stadium. One of the buildings is now completely empty, but in the other two, a few families are still there after a rehousing operation carried out in haste and pain.
