2013-02-15 - Au Revoir Sarkozy

Last year I found myself in the middle of Paris during the 2012 French Presidential elections on the 6th of May. It was only my second night there and it made for an exciting evening with the fall of Nicolas Sarkozy as President, being replaced by Francois Hollande. The atmosphere was electric with people flooding into the centre of the city and a constant stream of cars and motorbikes whizzing past with horns blaring. This election poster sums up the day quite well for Sarkozy I think...
