Articles- Au Présent July/August 2009



In the latest issue of 'Au Présent: http://www.aupresent.net/au_sommaire_ce_mois_ci_055.htm
I have published an article on the prison system in France. Prisons are heavily criticised for the violence, insecurity and lack of intimacy that the inmates have to tolerated. Installations are more than outdated and prisons guards have to cope with a high level of pressure on the everyday level.

I have also presented Jean-Luc Hees, the new president of Radio France; the French golf player Glawdys Nocera; and Claudie Haigneré, former austronaut and current president of Cité de la Science.

How much a night in a French camping costs? Find out the answer in the article!

Some other small articles on various subjects can also be found: Turkey has been chosen for the 'Cultural Season' / 'Saison Culturelle' 2010; the number of 'green' cars is increasing on the French market; national art museums are now free for young people (less than 26); the motorcycle race 'Les 24 heures du Mans' is now open for bicycles.

Bonne lecture et bonne rentrée !
