A selection of images from last Tuesdays demonstration in Paris against the proposed raising of the age of retirement from 60 to 65. The route of the march was from Republique to Bastille and then onto place du Nation, the turnout was huge and most of the time I was on the Boulevard Beaumarchais between the start and mid point. All of the unions and left wing parties were out in force to make their voices heard, at one point I found myself inadvertently walking into the middle of a press call for the leaders of the French Socialist party with the subsequent crush of people creating a real headache for their security.
