Montmartre

"my fav photo and aptly my fav hangout place in paris too."-cj

Here is what you do not see from the photo.

"FIGHTS broke out early on Wednesday between French police and demonstrating students in the tourist district of Montmartre in Paris. Police in riot gear charged groups of students after around 150 young people carried out acts of vandalism, an AFP reporter said. Several streets were littered with broken glass after the windows of a supermarket and two banks were smashed.

One student said a 'university night' attended by some thousands of students near the Sorbonne university got out of hand after a group decided to hold spontaneous demonstrations in the streets of Paris. Riot police converged on the students in dozens of vehicles and were met by salvos of bottles. On Tuesday some 200 students had occupied part of the French capital's institute of political studies in protest at inequalities in higher education. -- AFP"
