❯October 17, 2026. Paris. Six months before the presidential election, the country is exhausted. Prices are climbing, wages are frozen, schools are falling apart, and the government is deeply unpopular. After days of blockades, tear gas, and thousands of arrests, France is calling a general stop. Bastille, République, and the Champs-Élysées are about to become the center of everything.
