    Emerging from a cloud of tear gas, a rioter throws a stone toward the police.

    See the anti-Sarkozy demonstration and riots set.

    Also part of Paris, sketches...

    May 6, 2007 : Nicolas Sarkozy was elected President of France today and people gathered on 'place de la Bastille' to protest against the results and express their anger.

      I went to Paris last October, and things were calming down by then. At least, I felt perfectly safe on the streets at night. I guess that was a really bad time for you guys and I'm glad it's all over (or so it seems).
