CATALONIAN VILLAGE
SOUTHERN FRANCE
IMAGE NUMBER 757
The Catalonian independence movement, centred on Barcelona, has a passionate following among Catalan speakers, but possibly less than 40% of the population. The movement extends into southern France, much to the chagrin of the French Government in Paris. Along the French/Spanish border in Eastern France, Catalan flags show in most villages with little prospect of success.
