France has a culture of political protest that is, to say the least, robust.
I'm in town to report on the Paris Air Show, and walking around town this weekend, I came across three different demonstrations taking on a variety of causes.
There was support for illegal immigrants in France, the Syrian revolution, protests in Turkey, and even anarchy.
But because "manifestations," as protests here are called, are so common, it's hard for them to get a lot of attention, and most people who aren't directly involved walk right by.
Here's a look at the three protests we saw in as many days.
I came across this "manifestation"— or "manif"— near the Bastille. The woman's t-shirt reads, "Shut up and work."
It was hard to discern a theme. There were flags for health care, students, and anarchism.
I found out there were two protests that had somehow joined together. One was calling for better treatment of illegal immigrants.
