2000s: A city in Western France is put under the spotlight
Little Rebel
What you need to know before your trail
Divided along so many social fault lines, a city in the west of France is a tinderbox of anger and passion.
As the tension grows, things go badly wrong as a cop is killed and a terror cell is scattered across the city. A school on the deprived side of the city is caught up in the turmoil as students, their teacher and a visiting children’s author are locked down.
Travel Guide
Travel to the West of France
This is a port city which is never named but one that sits in the West of France:
“A city now gripped in a heat wave, and which is know n for its appallingly high levels of unemployment, the slow death of its shipyards and its reconstruction in an elegant Stalinist style after the Allied bombings of 1944”
Still , there’s now a lot of brain tissue spread over the tarmac of this hilly street, renamed rue Jean-Pierre Stirbois in honour of the National Font’s former Secretary General by the city’s newly elected mayor.
