Does anyone have a map of these areas?
I found this, but my French is rusty:
Zone urbaine sensible
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_urbaine_sensible
I understood this part:
“Les zones urbaines sensibles : 4,4 millions d’habitants (en 2006)”
4.4 MILLION people live in these zones???
From notes I kept over the years.
Zones Urbaines Sensibles (ZUS). No, not “sensible urban areas.” Sensible translates more accurately as “sensitive.” That is, no-go areas for police and non-North African, non-West African, or non-Muslim French people.
ATLAS DES ZONES URBAINES SENSIBLES
To see any of the maps, click on ‘carte’ to the right of the location name. You can then zoom in to a fairly detailed resolution. The red-bordered area in each map is the ZUS.
