This was the parkour spectre make the rail
Throughout all four 60 minutes of the observance , a ghostwriter dress out as a Gallic revolutionist was indeed doing parkour between rooftop , zero - liner between bistro , and scamper through the Louvre while carry the Olympian common mullein .
This was the specter finally spill its historical military uniform and mount a automatic sawbuck to extend across the last stretchiness of the seine and render the olympian flagstone to the animal foot of the eiffel tower .
This was but before that , it carve out a few moment to drip by a mini manner show fall out above the seine , rack up out a few fancy cartwheel , blowlamp in manus .

This was well , 2d to one …
