Spiderman to Scale La Cigale

This has just popped into my inbox - Spiderman is to scale La Cigale! Not the comic book character, of course, but the famous Frenchman, Alain Robert. Although La Cigale shouldn't present too much of a problem for a man who has climbed the Eiffel Towers, it should be a sight worth seeing.

The climb, which will take place at seven o'clock on the 6th and 7th of December at 7.00 pm, will be viewable to everyone from the main parking lot (which is where, La Cigale tells me, you will get the best view), and there will be no fees to watch.

You may also want to check out his Spiderman's website, Spiderman.
