DIVERSITY FETE LIVENS UP PARISIAN STREETS

Performers in the “Défistival”, Sept. 17, in Paris.
Each year, France's “Défistival” gets bigger and more colourful, and this year it lived up to expectations with dance, live music and eye-catching floats in the streets around the Eiffel Tower.

Celebrating diversity, the festival includes disabled people and groups that represent different cultures. The 2011 event had a special focus as this is the Year of France's Overseas Territories, the European Year of Volunteering, and the International Year of Forests.
