Does Paris have too many tourists? A European crisis comes to Montmartre
PARIS — When Olivier Baroin moved into an apartment in Montmartre about 15 years ago, it felt like he was living in a village in the heart of Paris. Not anymore.

PHOTO ESSAY: Life on Santa Rosa Island, a meeting point of three nations along the Amazon River
SANTA ROSA, Peru (AP) — Santa Rosa is a small island in the middle of the Amazon River. It has just one paved road, no running water and a health post ill-equipped for emergencies. Despite its limitations, residents maintain a fluid and highly interconnected triple-border life, regularly crossing to Colombia and Brazil for shopping, healthcare and daily needs. The most common businesses in town are nightclubs and evangelical churches. Its one-story homes are built on stilts to withstand floods between March and May. Most residents collect rainwater, filter it through cloth, and boil it on wood stoves. There is no sewage system and no cemetery; many bury their loved ones across the river in Colombia or Brazil. Read more about Santa Rosa, which has become the focus of a diplomatic dispute between Peru and Colombia. This is a documentary photo story curated by AP photo editors.
