Getting off the train at each stop, he and Frantz present a picture of daily life in France which tourists seldom see: a world where names don't make sense, where immigrants from Burkino Faso live in run-down tower-blocks called Debussy on the avenue Karl Marx, their children dodging the police between the lycee Jules Valles and the Yuri Gagarin youth-club; a world where there are still memories of the Commune, the Popular Front or the camp at Drancy from where French officials sent a hundred thousand Jews to Auschwitz; a world where no one is a racist, but National Front posters are everywhere. Maspero's aim is to put this world back on the map.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45409948631191,"sku":"9780860916987","price":2547.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780860916987.webp?v=1767672481","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/roissy-express-a-journey-through-the-paris-suburbs-9780860916987","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
