1er Mai – Défilé de Front National
Pas grand chose à dire par ici, voici les images du traditionnel défilé du Front National. Traditionnel dépot de gerbe devant la statue de Jeanne d’Arc et discours sur la place de l’Opéra.
What the point ?
Ça commence à devenir une tradition, comme presque tous les samedis je descends dans la rue et tombe sur la manifestation des Anonymous contre les mesures ACTA. Il faut dire qu’ils manifestent toutes les deux semaines. Read More
Manifestation Anti-ACTA – Paris -11 février 2012
Manifestation anti-ACTA dans les rues de Paris ce weekend. Plus d’info sur l’ACTA sur Wikipédia.
La manifestation s’est déroulée sans heurt ni incident particulier, de la place de la Bastille, jusqu’au ministère de la Culture, place des Victoires ou une manifestation contre le régime syrien avait lieu. Les manifestants des deux groupes ont alors escaladé la statue de Louis XIV pour diffuser leurs messages / drapeaux.

Pro life / anti-abortion walk in Paris
So here is the full report on the «Marche de la Vie» last sunday in Paris, where pro-life where protesting against abortion. You can also have a look on my article dedicated to the media coverage of the demonstration.
From behind (a small screen)
As always, I walked randomly in a demonstration this weekend. Today anti-abortion movement where doing their annual «Walk of Life». I did a specific report on this (soon to be online), but I also took time to observe the media presence in the demonstration. There was maybe 2 or 3 TV crew, about 10 photographer like me, but also a huge amount of spectator shooting the demonstration from behind their cell phone or point and shoot camera. Hundreds of witnesses all along the street, shooting the same moments than me just because they were in the street at the exact right time.
But wait, what was the role of the photographer again ?

Alone in the Dark (Huningue)
I’m spending a few days at my parents place in the city of Huningue. It’s the one and only place in France having borders with both Swiss and Germany.
But this doesn’t mean a highly animated place. I went for a night walk and I was amazed to see how the streets where empty compared to Paris night. It was around 10 pm and, in one hour, I saw about 10 cars and less than 5 persons and 3 cats in the street. What a strange sensation…
Occupy La Défense
I covered the “Occupy Bastille/French revolution” a few month ago as the events were happening right under my windows (ok, maybe 100m away).
After a few month of inactivity and the Occupy Wall Street events, the movement came back as “Occupy La Défense”. The idea is to camp at the Défense (the Paris business neighborhood) until their claims are heard.
Another Saturday in Paris streets
A Slut Walk, a Rom Pride, filmmaker Tony Gatlif trouble with the french police and the “Nuit Blanche” here is an unexpected day shooting photos all over the city.
Rock en Seine 2011
My last music festival for the summer, in the beautiful park of the “Domaine national de St Cloud”. There was a pretty nice lineup maybe a bit to hype for me, but anyway their was some really great show. Foo Fighters, The Streets, Deftones for the really huge bands, and some nice discoveries (for me) with the Jim Jones Revue, Seasick Steve, Cage the Elephant and Trentemoller.
Jazz In Marciac
It’s the summer, time for the festivals to pop out all around the country. I had the chance to stay 3 days at the Jazz in Marciac, the legendary Jazz festival in the south west of France. I was reporting for Ziknation and the Deezer blog (Made to Move) and tried to catch the vibes around the gigs.
