On Tuesday I was planning to have a "do nothing" day at home in the rue des Violettes, in Dijon. However I was tempted, yet again, to go into the centre ville, and ended up staying most of the day.
In the Place de la Liberation, in the afternoon, I found a protest rally, in fact two at once. One was by the teachers and the other by the disabled.
Sarkosy is tryiing to have a superior education system, while cutting the number of teachers and raising class sizes at the same time and of course, paying the teachers very little. Sounds familiar? The disabled were asking for more access I think.
The CGTI was one of the left wing organisations out in force. It was very colourful, on such a beautiful day, in such an impressive open place, with the Palace of the Dukes as a background.
Then I came across some men unloading a very large beam from a truck, into a building, where renovation was going on. Quite a sight. Just as well they had a little trolley to move it, into what was a very tiny alleyway.
Renovation of these very old buildings must bring many such challenges
