PROTEST

It's good to see the French are living true to their reputation of protest. I'm not talking about full on riots with armed police but everyday protest against the more local events.

A right of way protest.

I was particularly inspired by the artistry and thought behind this simple protest that someone obviously does not agree with the imposed one way system.

Planning Permission protest.

This Art Deco 1920's house in Reims has recently been given planning permission for demolition and redevelopment into apartments. A bad decision I feel. This is also echoed by local people who have written their feelings on the planning permission notice :

Tres Dommage - Very harmful

C'est Honteux - It is shameful

Scandale! - Scandal.
