A video on their history and origins is probably one of the better ones to circulate in that country, except when they divide Roma into three groups (Sinti/Manouches; Kale; Roma), and that their maps of distributions misses quite a few regions.

Other than that, in the North, an article about an integration centre; a new squat in Angers, in Western France; and a protest in Juvigny, in the Alps, about a planned Roma camp.
