A street in Paris has been littered with discarded mattresses in the midst of the "bedbug epidemic". <br /><br />The video recorded on October 6 shows mattresses lying on the pavement of Rue Saint Lazare, in Paris' 9th district. <br /><br />They are piled high on both sides of the road in front of a hotel, "Hotel Langlois", some covered in plastic. <br /><br />According to Aarya Bondge, 18, who recorded the video, some were clean and some were dirty, suggesting a possible clear out. <br /><br />Aarya, a fashion student at a nearby university, ESMOD, was returning home from a lecture when she captured the footage.<br /><br />She believes the mattresses came from a nearby hotel.<br /><br />She said: "Some of them were clean and some were dirty, so my brain immediately went to bedbugs.<br /><br />"There are a lot of hotels nearby, so I don't know which one they were from.<br /><br />"I did see people doing some loading and unloading in a hotel, just mattresses. <br /><br />"I don't know if it was bedbugs, but they might have been throwing out their mattresses because of that." <br /><br />Aarya says Paris is still reeling from the epidemic and has not yet returned to normal. <br /><br />"Line six of the metro is still terrible, people are standing up to avoid the seats, even I would still rather stand for an hour than touch the seats."
