IV.4.2. AN EPICENTER OF MISERY

MENU : 4.4.2. An epicenter of misery  

"THE 13th DISTRICT
IS BY FAR THE MOST MISERABLE OF PARIS
WHERE THE MOST TOXIC ELEMENTS
OF ITS POPULATION FIND REFUGE..."
-- Belinda Carter, Suffering Paris, "Paris treizième" (in French)

The Bièvre Riveby Henri Coelas, at City Hall

In brief

  • "A lost district at the city's edge" 
  • Disease, crime and revolt
  • Traces of vanished industry
  • A training ground for Third-World revolutionaries
