Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

"In 1921, the writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry lived here. Born in 1900, he died for France on July 31, 1944. 

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry learned to fly during his military service in Strasbourg, at the Neuhof airfield. From that point on, he saw the five continents pass beneath his wings over the course of a glorious aviation career—an experience from which he drew the inspiration for a literary body of work that has rendered him immortal."

12 rue du 22 novembre, Strasbourg.

The set up

First day of setting up the Christmas tree on place Kleber. By big, I mean: 30 meters, almost 100 feet tall, 9.3 tons. Now, the city workers have one month to decorate it, as the yearly Christmas market starts on November 27th, with millions of tourists... 

Pretty sure the girls on the photo took a picture of it.

Unrest

You might have heard of the ongoing high school students unrest. On my way to a shopping, passing my old high school by bus, I got tear gassed as well, as the bloody bus driver opened the doors... Anyway, ACAB means: all cops are b+stards. I disagree.
