Can the Olympics change an areas reputation?
We\u2019re in the Paris suburb of Seine -Saint-Denis which will host most of the games this summer.
It\u2019s an area with some of the highest levels of poverty in the whole of France, and a bad reputation.
In the minds of most French people, the area conjures up images of drugs, crime and riots.
Locals say that reputation is unfair \u2013 and they\u2019re hoping the investment of the games, and a place on the world stage, goes some way to changing that. But can it?
