You've heard a lot from us already about the strikes, la grève. The French also demonstrate their unhappiness with marches and protests, la manifestation. Here's an idea of what that looks like. This one wound its way all around town on Saturday, with each of the syndicats, or unions taking their own place in line complete with speakers on a truck and flags for the marchers.
We were with one of the teacher's unions, of which there are many.
I have to say it felt a bit like a parade.
Oh well I guess I never wanted a job with the State Department anyway.
