representing the schools inspired by Anthroposophy in France
against the government-owned TV network France 2
France’s journalistic milieus are normally biased against “cults” and tend to take seriously the information supplied by the governmental anti-cult agency MIVILUDES
and by “apostate” ex-members of religious movements
is extremely interesting because it censors French media’s typical approach to “cults.”
The case concerned a program titled “The Steiner Method
an Alternative Pedagogy Under Surveillance,” broadcast by France 2 on November 3
The program stated that “the Steiner-Waldorf schools strive to train future citizens who would not be able to fit into our Republic,” which corresponds to the accusation of “separatism” from common French “Republican” values commonly directed against both Islam and “cults.”
Rather than videos from present-day Steiner-Waldorf schools
the footage used consisted of “images from another century
showing a group of students walking in circles in white togas
like the Solar Temple cult,” notorious for its mass suicides and homicides in the last decade of the 20th century
Statements by the MIVILUDES were repeated uncritically
and the program offered a tribune to Grégoire Perra
well-known as “the main detractor of Steiner-Waldorf pedagogy in France and of Anthroposophy.”
A request by ANPAPS to publish their response and a correction was ignored
that it relied on statements by the MIVILUDES
the CDJM stated that France 2 cannot be censored for quoting the MIVILUDES
it found aspects of the program’s presentation of the Steiner-Waldorf schools both inaccurate and sensational
It also censored the statement that it is difficult to obtain information on the Steiner-Waldorf schools from inside
observing that on the contrary the schools are open to visitors and primary sources about them are easily available online
The CDJM thus concluded that “France 2 violated the ethical obligation of accuracy.”
École Maternelle Steiner-Waldorf Le Jardin d’Eglantine
Source: Le Jardin d’Eglantine.It also censored France 2 because it “chose not to broadcast contemporary images
but to insert black and white archival images of children running around in white togas
This excerpt is neither identified nor presented as an archival image
It has the effect of creating confusion on the current nature of the education that is provided in these institutions.”
the CDJM also noted that France 2 gave a prominent part in its program to anti-Anthroposophist Grégoire Perra and another opponent while the response by Anthroposophy was reduced to “a simple sentence given about fifteen seconds at the end of the sequence in question.” This
had spoken at length about their opposition to the [Steiner-Waldorf educational] method
which would have been essential to achieve the balance requested by good journalistic practice.”
Anti-Anthroposophist “apostate” Grégoire Perra. Credits. Finally
“no rectification of error was made to the online text accompanying the video of the sequence in question
and that France 2 therefore violated its ethical obligation to rectify inaccuracies and infringements of the truthfulness of the facts.”
while not all claims of ANPAPS were accepted
the CDJM concluded that France 2 on several points “violated..
the obligations of fairness and verification of the facts
It also failed to respect the ethical obligation to correct errors.”
Professional watchdogs such as the CDJM may play an important role in correcting this widespread form of journalistic malpractice. Perhaps, more religious movements should file complaints with them in the future.

Both horses in the Haute-Loire tested positive for the drug on June 24 and July 14
who were considered to have “good reputations,” were accused
It was determined by the racing laboratory in Verrières-le-Buisson that the horses had the drug in their system after eating old hay
After the link between the old hay and the positive tests was drawn
the horse trainers were exonerated of all charges and the horses were reinstated
which was then metabolized in the horse’s digestive tract by bacteria

Discover what the most popular suburbs of Paris have to offer in the way of property prices
By Martina Di Gregorio
While living in Paris might sound like a dream for many people, the reality of finding a home in the capital can be a challenge given the rising cost of rent and the fact that apartments are getting smaller
Some Parisian neighborhoods may also be too loud and crowded with tourists
making them less appealing to those looking to settle down
if you are looking for a bigger home with a garden
the suburbs of Paris might be a better option
From the international vibrance of Croissy-sur-Seine to the elegance of Versailles
there are many desirable places to consider
they offer accommodation of every kind to suit a variety of preferences and budgets
To give you an idea of what’s on offer
this article includes the following information:
Looking for an easy way to find your next home
Spotahome is an online property portal operating in France that takes the stress out of renting

Finding housing in Paris and its surrounding suburbs can be challenging and time-consuming
especially for those who are not familiar with the local property market
you will need to find the right suburb to match your budget and preferred lifestyle before beginning your search for a home
there are multiple websites that make house-hunting easier
SeLoger is particularly popular among internationals seeking accommodation in the Parisian suburbs
The portal allows you to search under Louer (rent) for apartments for rent
You then need to enter the postcode of the town or area you prefer and click on Rechercher (search)
Before deep-diving into the many apartments available
you can add filters such as pieces or chambres (rooms) and Extérieur (exterior) where you can specify whether you want a garden
You can also filter by Meublé (furnished) or Non meublé (unfurnished)
depending on whether you want to bring your own furniture
you can head to Acheter (buy) and start your search
Moving to France: the ultimate checklist for your move
it might be worth searching for short and mid-term rentals on portals such as:
might also want to join some of the local Facebook groups where people often post apartments or rooms for rent
as well as search for roommates or sublets for short periods of time
Some suburbs are also more affordable and spacious
with family houses that come with gardens and parking spaces that allow for an easier commute to Paris
Rental costs in the suburbs of Paris can vary greatly
there are some suburbs in which prices are on par with the city center
these prices are increasing every year as the areas continue to improve their urban plans
You can find the most up-to-date rental costs on SeLoger
Similar to rental costs, property prices in the suburbs of Paris are lower than in the capital, where the average cost exceeds €10,000 per square meter
The city of Paris is divided into twenty districts – or arrondissements – which are arranged in the form of a clockwise spiral. However, the city and its surrounding suburbs (or banlieues) make up the region of Île-de-France
This consists of eight administrative departments
Essonne, Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis, Seine-et-Marne, Val-de-Marne, Val-d’Oise
According to statistics from 2020, 19% of the population of metropolitan France live within Île-de-France
making it the most populated region in the country
demographics vary significantly throughout the departments
Seine-Saint-Denis in the northeast and Val-d’Oise in the northwest were formerly industrial and working-class zones
the southern department of Essonne and the western department of Yvelines are predominantly inhabited by the upper class
reputations also vary from suburb to suburb
and Maisons-Laffitte are known to be some of the most affluent and desirable areas in Paris
are also considered to be ‘unsafe’
while other residential areas like Fontenay-aux-Roses
To give you more of an overview of the Paris suburbs
below is a summary of some of the most popular ones to live in among the expat community
Situated just 14km from the center of Paris, Chatou is a family-friendly suburb with many green spaces, making it the perfect location for those looking to escape the bustling city and enjoy some nature. However, although it is only a 15-minute commute with the RER line A
meaning that many residents (or Catoviens) choose to own cars and houses usually have parking
Chatou is perhaps best known for its Ile des Impressionistes
(Island of Impressionists) which is located in the Seine River and got its name due to its popularity among multiple 19th-century artists such as Monet and Renoir
and open woodland where visitors can relax and enjoy nature
Art is still an important part of life in Chatou, and it hosts multiple art, music, and antique festivals every year, including the Chatou Island Festival and the National Antique Fair
Whether you are single and looking to move to Paris for work, or you are a parent with young children seeking peace and quiet
the rest of the town continues with its daily routine
While Versailles may be more suited to working people and families, students might find themselves more drawn to Orsay. The university town is located 20km southwest of Paris, with a direct train providing easy access to the capital. The RER B is the cheapest option for those who commute daily
and it takes around 30 minutes to reach the Cité Universitaire stop
Orsay offers a mix of affordable apartments and family homes with gardens
with a two-bedroom apartment costing between €1,000 and €2,100 per month
these prices vary yearly depending on inflation
The suburb provides ample green space, with the Bois de la Cyprenne – a small forest inside the city – offering a scenic escape from the hustle and bustle. Osary also boasts a variety of entertainment, including lectures and exhibitions at the Musée d’Orsay
Those who love nightlife will also enjoy the various bars
and restaurants in the student quarters.
it can take up to an hour to reach the city by car
or even longer during peak times.
although all that remains are outbuildings
Another attraction is the Hippodrome de Saint-Cloud racecourse, where the Saint-Cloud Grand Prix takes place every year. Rock music lovers might also find themselves in this suburb when the annual Rock en Seine festival comes to town
Saint-Germain-en-Laye is a quintessential French town that embraces a diverse and multicultural community. Located 15km west of Paris, the suburb is most suited to expat families, and is home to Lycée International de Saint-Germain-en-Laye; one of the top international schools in France
which features beautiful gardens and a panoramic view of western Paris
All of this is only 20 minutes away from the capital, with multiple bus routes and local trains on the RER A line connecting the two
Located 7km northwest of Paris, in the department of Hauts-de-Seine, Neuilly-sur-Seine is one of the most expensive cities in France
with rental prices exceeding €12,000 per square meter
those looking to rent or buy in the area will need to have a hefty budget
Although it is close to Paris, the suburb is relatively quiet and primarily residential with many family homes and multiple parks attracting expats with children. It is also home to Marymount
and offers easy access to other international schools in the neighboring 16th arrondissement.
which attract thousands of tourists each year
Commuting to the center of Paris is an easy 20-minute metro trip or a half-hour drive for those who are brave enough to face the city’s infamous traffic. There are also multiple buses and local rail connections that provide easy access to the rest of the country
Situated in the affluent department of Yvelines, Croissy-sur-Seine is particularly attractive to expats due to its strong English-speaking community and the fact that it is home to the British School of Paris; one of the best international schools in France
Similar to other popular suburbs, Croissy-sur-Seine is well connected to Paris, with the RER A line taking around 20 minutes
which is ideal for those looking to commute
Nogents-sur-Marne is a charming commuter town that lies 10km east of Paris on the River Marne. The suburb offers convenient access to the Bois de Vincennes which features several lakes
The River Marne is also a popular destination for swimming and rowing enthusiasts
those surrounding Paris are diverse in terms of demographics
While some are known for their excellent amenities
it might not be the most suitable place to live for those with children
it is important to do your research and ask for recommendations from local expat groups to ensure that it is a safe and desirable place to live

Hanoi (VNA) – The first newspaper copies reporting the defeat of French colonialists in the Dien Bien Phu Campaign in the northwestern province of Dien Bien 70 years ago are now exhibited at the Vietnam Press Museum in Hanoi
The copies were presented to the museum by French collector Jean-Marie Jacquemin
who also donated a book titled “1968 - 1973 Verrières-le-Buisson: Havre De Paix” (Verrières-le-Buisson: Safe Haven) and some valuable publications related to Vietnam to the museum
