It's Olympics time again, and this time there's been quite a scene at the Seine. Which reminded us of a story we have been meaning to tell for a long time, that of L'Inconnue de la Seine (The Unknown Woman of the Seine). Even though her body allegedly washed up on the shores of the Seine more than 100 years ago, you'd almost certainly recognise her. You've probably even kissed her. You might even have called her by her current name- Resusi Anne. And if you haven't already, it's probably time to put a name to that face. Or at the very least, a story.
