Wednesday 23rd May – my official citizenship ceremony – a republican rite of passage where the local “prefet” gave me all those papers that now officially make me French. At the ceremony – English, Turkish, Algerian, Russian … about twenty different nationalities but now all French.

First “Boulangerie Kebab” taken in the small village of Mourmelon in the east of France.

Next photo “End of my street” Kebab retsaurant and a French café/tabac –
