I have to agree. Everytime I've been there I run into 3 to 4 protests in various locations. Part of the color of the city. May Day in both London and Paris is quite an event.
Oh, yes! A protest (or more) a day! When "Louis" lived in Paris, it was the same. As Napoléon wrote «Les Français argumentent au sujet de tout - et souvent.» (The French argue about everything - and often.)
The first time I visited Paris, I got off the train and was instantly surrounded by a group of protesters shouting things in French I couldn't understand, and waving signs in my face with words I couldn't read. I learned it had something to do with workers, and the coppers were herding them into one area to do their protesting and leave the travelers to their days.
A protest I guess about saving Pandas. Everytime I am here there is a protest of some sort. So far this trip I have encountered 3.

The French love a good protest!
If you're there more than a week there should be at least one railway strike as well.
I'm all for saving pandas but I hope this group aren't as clueless as they look.
Looks like a photo shoot for men's fashion in France, lol. Fantastic photo, as always, Mo!
