The French, known for their creativity, have found an unusual way to deal with the rats that have invaded their cities. After fighting rodents for a long time, they eventually decided to make them a symbol of urban authenticity. In Marseille, where there are about 1.7 rats per inhabitant, they began to encourage the use of rats on the symbols and logos of various establishments. This approach emphasizes the authenticity of the city and the unique features of the environment. Perhaps the next step will be to adopt other aspects of urban life as part of a cultural symbol, as some residents ironically suggest.
