Il y a eu une mega teuf au Grand Palais avec Noah qui s’est vraiment donné à fond! (vraiment pas mal).

Il y a un mur de grillage (et de CRS) tout autour de la Sorbonne!
Malgrè la détermination des indiens, le fortin ne sera pas facile à prendre!

On peut reconnaitre sur ce mur les maillots de l’OM, du PSG, de l’OL, St Etienne, Nantes, etc…
Maybe you have heard about the student protests and riots in Paris.
I live between Jussieu university and the Sorbonne university. About 400 meters from the Sorbonne, in the heart of the “Quartier Latin”.
But the neighborhood is calm. Maybe too calm, if I listen to the storekeepers of the Place Maubert. People go out less now.
The police are everywhere. Since the beginning of the protests there have been tons of Police vehicles on the Boulevard Saint Germain almost every day (see this short video). We can hear their screaming sirens pass under our windows day and night. Sometimes, dozens of policemen in riot gear are standing by on my street. Weird! Especially when I go out to get something to eat. lol
Policemen are okay with us. I know that they are here to protect us. Some of them even laughed and joked when I talked to them. (but I haven’t tried to talk to the riot police, I’m not that crazy ;-)
From where I live, things seem quiet. But we can see and feel the tension in the air. We are worried.
Near the Sorbonne or in several other districts, it is another story. Vandals, who are not part of the protests, come to break shops, burn cars, hit and steal people. I don’t know when or how we are going to solve this situation. How could the First Employment Contract (“Contrat de Première Embauche”, a.k.a. CPE) lead to destruction and chaos like that? That’s not the point of my post. But I’m stunned by the situation.
This is quite a mess. The troublemakers (“casseurs”) come from the far-right and the far-left, and also include youth gangs that come from poor suburbs. They are not really anti-CPE protesters.
Last thursday, 2,000 of them went to the “esplanade des Invalides”. Violent fighting took place. The gangs beat students, passers-by, journalists and photographers without distinction. There were also combats between gangs and police. Look at these photos and you’ll have an idea of what happened. This has nothing to do with the real demonstrations.
Life goes on, though, between daily routine and unknown events that can occur. It’s a bit strange; however, we have to deal with that because it’s not close to being solved.
(thank you Marsha, for the spell check ;-)

Soirée Hit & Co show de TF1 et Neuf…
Je n’étais jamais allé au Bataclan.
Sinon j’ai vu aussi Patrick Fiori: pas mal vraiment.
Photo prise avec mon téléphone portable
La Place Maubert, coeur palpitant des B4 (bobo-barjots de la blogosphère), a une chanson, un tube même “Place Maubert” interprêté par l’inimitable Tristão :
Viens, viens, viens dans mon 5ème
C’est boboland et j’en suis fier
Mais c’est aussi le Quartier Latin
L’Jardin des Plantes et ses babouins
La rue Mouftard et ses gens biens-in
L’Musée Cluny et l’Macdo du coin
De St-Michel au boulevard St-Germain
Tu trouves Dyptique et tu peux manger bien
(Ecouter la chanson sur memoire-vive.org)…
