Boulevard Saint Michel
Spring is two month fast this year in Paris. Demonstrations usually grows in May, not in March.
The Boulevard Saint-Michel is the main street of the Quartier Latin de Paris, the students area in Paris. Since may 1968 it has been the favorite place for them to demonstrate. Just in front of the Sorbonne, the student met the police forces, both decided not to move.
If you turn this picture in black and white, it will remind you of 1968. Same place, same humming in the street, same odour of lacrymal gases, same people with a generation leap and same atmosphere.
