The article notes a rising foreign population in France, with foreigners increasingly replacing French on farms and in cities as native birth rates fall. It cites department totals, Paris residency, and counts of Italian and Belgian workers, while mentioning a museum exhibit of General Daumesnil’s artificial leg. It ends with a quirky image of wild geese and parrots posting sentinels.
