We check in on the French work ethic frequently. This week, French citizens in several cities have been marching against proposals–long pushed by President Nicolas Sarkozy–that would raise the retirement (and pension) age from 60 to 62. See Richard Nahem’s report at “French Pension Protests” at his I Prefer Paris. However, our friend Richard says not to cancel your trip to Paris. French protesters who want to work less are apparently not dangerous or life-threatening. Just annoying.
