Paris residents plea for influencers to leave Instagram’s most famous street alone

Nothing garners more Instagram likes than a row of candy-hued houses, with influencers travelling from far and wide to capture the perfect shot of Paris’ Rue Crémieux. But with relentless hoards of millennials now posing on the cobbled street every day, residents are staging a protest. Unsurprisingly, residents are growing tired of having their home used as an Instagram backdrop, and are demanding that Paris closes the street to visitors on evenings, weekends and during ‘magic hour’ (the time just after sunrise or before sunset, when the light appears more golden) – peak time for influencers.
