One in eight French families knows personally of the Algerian war of the 1960/60. Disgusted as I am with the French, I always wanted to see the Louvre and lavender fields, and a few of the famous landmarks while I could.
I thought I'd have a few more years to do it.
I don't think so now.

While I think Paris is the most overrated ,nasty, disgusting place I have ever been to, I don't wish riots on anyone- even the Parisians. Riots are not funny and I loath rioters. Not to fret-The French country side and all of Italy has better art, better wine and everything is much nicer in those parts.
