I have seen the gypsies walking around Nantes. They linger in the streets, sometimes sitting, sometimes standing, but always asking for money. Some of the French give them angry looks as they past, some of the French yell, and the rest just ignore them completely.
En 2009, environ 8 000 Roms ont été reconduits en Roumanie avec, en poche, un billet d'avion et 300 euros. (Le Monde 16 February 2010)
I, too, came here with 300 euros in my pocket. And like a gypsy I have wandered this city's streets begging not for money, but knowledge. Some of the French have given me angry looks as they passed, some of the French have yelled, and the rest just ignored me completely. Just like a gypsy.
