I don't have much of value to add, just wanted to join in and enthuse about the beautiful colours of the cobblestones you've captured. Really nice!

I'm pretty thankful for the French drive to protest really, as most democracy around the world, imperfect as it may be, can trace it's roots to the French revolution.

The most recent protests that I'm aware of — against the raising of the retirement age, I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) — were they successful?
