Fishing corpses out of the Seine

Issued on:

The River Seine in Paris - for some the most romantic stretch of water in the world; for others the perfect vantage point to see the sights from the tourist boats, the bateaux mouches. But it can also be highly dangerous, which is why a special branch of the police, the brigade fluviale, was created in 1900. One of its tasks is to fish people out of the river, alive or dead.
