Tonight we had our slightly delayed Thanksgiving party. I made a stuffed turduckant (a pheasant stuffed in a duck stuffed in a turkey) which was a success. The event was very enjoyable even though we were closed off from the rest of Paris. As our house is quite close to the Elysée our street was blocked off by riot polices using vehicles and reinforced barriers. I had to go and collect our guests with my ID and a proof of address to allow them to get through the barriers. I feel thee is something wrong with our democracy if our political leaders need to "protect" themselves from the people behind armored walls. When the level of discontent and violence reaches these proportions doesn't it mean that we need to change the system significantly ? If you are wondering how ... just read some of my old blogs.
