At first, I was a little bit put off by what seemed like a swarm of young guys without jobs or occupations. Then a neighbor told me that they are actually Afghan refugees who are awaiting visas to other countries or are trying to figure out their next plan. They are never aggressive; they keep to themselves. They actually sleep in that park at night. They wait until the officers close down the park gates at sunset and then climb the gates (or they hide in the park) and spend the night there. Now, in summer, this is ok, except that it rains so much in Paris. Anyway, the point is I've been thinking about these guys and they often get harassed like that by the police. Shame. I think they've had a hard time of it. <br /><br />Glad you found my site.

I took my kids to the Jardin Villemin where we had a picnic lunch & played on the pirate ship. Lots of "guys" hanging out there, saw one get arrested--what gives? My sister visits later in the summer, so we'll get back to visit the Canal area again--thanks for the recommendations...(ps. I've been combing the 'net a bit obsessively in anticipation of this trip for a while & discovered your blog--thanks--you have an eye for great photo images & I've enjoyed your site!) -mnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
