    There are [5] photos from France

    LONE STROLL, Perpignan, France: Although the neighbourhood was a very confined and dense environment. I still felt very Isolated. The same sense of isolation the Muslims feel towards the French. Views[255] TWO WIDOWS, Perpignan, France: With the assistance of my poor grasp of French, and various illustrative hand movements gesturing to the women on the left, asking her how long she had lived in this neighborhood for. Expecting her to say something like 40 years. She responded with, “I came from Turkey only 2 years ago with my husband, but he died last week.” Views[231] MOTHER HAS LEFT, Perpignan, France: An elderly lady minds a small child amongst the derelict and undoubtedly unhygienic streets. This was one of the only prams I saw with a child actually inside it. Because this community is so segregated from the mainstream, their lifestyle is viewed as 'unacceptable', and 'unsustainable' by French locals. Views[258] NO RULES, Perpignan, France: A wall lining a medieval church is de-faced by members of the community with a hostile slogan they seem to live by. Views[292] PRAM BARK, Perpignan, France: An empty pram adds a ghostly and deserted post apocalyptic feeling to the already depressing streets. Capping off the sadness, we see stray dogs chained to polls, with no owners in site. Views[262]
