I had a lunch in the 15th arrondissement yesterday and on my way I passed by
Les Invalides and saw lot of smoke. I first thought of a giant BBQ(!), but in fact it was a demonstration. France is going through a tough economical phase at the moment and people are afraid to lose their benefits so they try to draw the government's attention! It's complicated... If you want to understand better, have a look at
this excellent article (in English).
Colourful, even as a protest.
ReplyDeleteIt's common here to see protestors on our Parliament Hill.
Or they could do what certain (ahem) Parisians are doing and just leave the country!
ReplyDeleteLOOOOOOL ! They could!
DeleteYou got very close to that flame, Eric. Be careful, we love you!
ReplyDeleteNah.... My camera did ;-) But that's sweet of you to say.
