Le modèle social français
The French social model
«I do not believe that the British social model is a model that we should copy or envy.»
   -- Jacques Chirac
«The French social model is neither inefficient nor outdated. It has a great ambition which can be expressed simply: permanently to level up. We must keep it. In a way it's our national genius. It's a necessity.»
   -- Jacques Chirac

Between 500 and 1000 people live on Paris 33km beltway. Most live in tents in the fumes of engines and 75dB noise. Some live in pillars sustaining the beltway, or in "technical premises" tunnels underneath.
Here are some of the tens of tents that can be seen by million commuters every day.

A picture is worth a thousand words. No hype, no propaganda: Here are pictures of actual France, shot on-the-fly with my cell phone.

Officials lecture, facts don't lie.
France is dying, and that's the best it can do.
