French youth is leaving the country
Great serie of articles from today's Liberation (in French) about the French 18-35 years old leaving the country to see if life is better overseas. And guess what... usually it is since only 15% of them are coming back to France (although I suspect this number is much higher on a long-term). The article on French living in London is interesting. Can you believe that there are approximately 200,000 French living in the UK capital?!? That makes it a quite large French city, almost the size of Bordeaux so just be careful if you bitch in French in public places in London since it is very likely that people around you will understand you :)

I saw the big headlines on papers people were reading in the tube this morning and was going to read these articles and blog about it... but then some french MBA bloggers have more time than others to read and post in the morning. ;)
I printed it though to read in the train I'm taking tonight for a short 4-day vacation on the (French) west coast. "Vive les 35Hrs!"

PS - About French in central London, that's no news. It's almost like California and Mexicans, London couldn't run without the French.
