“Good night, sleep tight, don’t let the bedbugs bite” I used to intone to my kids before they went to bed. It is meant to be reassuring, a familiar litany to ward off undesirable visitors and sooth attendant night time anxieties. Something that seems superstitious unless you happen to be living in Paris. My colleague Sue , just back from a visit to the French capital, joins me to discuss what’s going on, why it’s important and what is being done in the run-up to the Olympic games in Paris next
