The 7th district of Pas-de-Calais, in the very north of the country, is a territory of 128,000 inhabitants which includes the city of Calais - facing the Channel and England, a symbol of the migratory issue - but also more rural areas.
A deindustrialized land with a high rate of unemployment and poverty, especially among young people.
