These are the last days of All Saints holidays for the students and their teachers.

They went on leave under the curfew regime and come back under the re-containment regime.

This re-entry is unprecedented in more than one way.

More than disturbed with the re-containment.

Resumption of classes but not for everyone and under conditions.More than ever placed under the sign of secularism after the assassination of this college professor Samuel Paty.

His beheading moved the whole of France, the students, the teachers and the parents of the students.
