Revolution in the Square

As you can see, there is still a revolutionary spirit in France. This group were out one Sunday despite the rain to make a statement in the middle of Paris. They posed for pictures.

The Seine is just meters away and the square in the one that depicts the archangel Michel's victory over the "Prince of Persia" (the real one, not the game), but that statue is well over their heads as you can almost see in the third picture.

The banner says "Vivre Libre ou Mourir" - "Live Free or Die"; but I can't say the young soldier's face betrays much conviction in the message, more an interest in the young girl at his side. Perhaps the weather has dampened his spirits. Certainly they did not stay long. Just for a few photos and then they were gone.

And with the damp weather getting damper; so was I.
