Last weekend, the Italian coast guard rescued a small migrant boat off the coast of Sicily.

Of the 11 people who left Algeria a week earlier, only 6 were still alive.

What will become of the survivors?

Like many, they may try to continue their journey to other countries in Europe.

And will have to cross other borders, including in the Schengen area.

Today, Grand reportage takes us on the migrant route from Italy to France.
