I was glad and relieved that the Louvre museum was still open on my last day in Paris. The only inconvenience is that I had to walk 50 minutes from my hotel to the Louvre, but that was worth it. It would have been terrible if all the museums and attractions were closed as well which is the case with Coronavirus right now.

I must admit, I was expecting more analysis on how the pension scheme in France compared with other European countries – i.e value of the pensions, what states pay etc etc. This literally just compared the retirement age and poverty level to THREE countries… 'Europe' lol
In the UK, a woman, according to my tax office file, they have my retirement age as 67yrs and if I continue to contribute to my pension I would get £168.60 per week / £733.11 a month / £8,797.31 a year. Of course these figures are not guaranteed and are based on the current law and do not include any increase due to inflation.
Too much problem sncf From France
compare countries retirement plans against EU employees or UN employees…and they are our employees having better one than us…amazing!!!!!!
National Socialism, making people responsible for other peoples decisions in life, people should havehad the choice to save their own Money and not pay any National Insurance, you become responsible for your own self. The British NHS parts of it is already Privatised, onece up-on a time you could get free eye test, free dental care all of that has been privatised. The rest is up for grabs, so the elderly will have no coverage because their money they paid in National Insurance has already been spent, so they thought they can extend the retirement age, they did it in Spain, and Britain and now France, that is 3 countries, they have no money to pay the people they robbed by deceiving them out of their hard earned money.. Most of the Money was given away under the European Union system, forcing people of other EU member State to pay money to the poorer ones, now the money is gone, hence the eventual collapse of the European Union. All Empires die normally under the weight of its own wickedness, in wars and corruption.
The pension scheme is another ponsy scheme, you pay into it they steal the money , and tax the young to pay for the poverty they create amongst the elderly, so they steal your home, and your savings. Every election is based around Immigration, when they never objected to slavery, so they have a new way to recreate slavery, Minimum wage just enough to keep you alive. With the pensioners they have no way of increasing their pension, so they end up in poverty. What was the TRICK, they never expected people to live as long, so the plan was to ensure you die before you get a pension, thats how you know it was a ponsey scheme, a plot to deceive the public, and blaim immigrants for the plot.
In Poland – much poorer than France the retirement age has been reduced to 60 years for women and 65 years for men.
This is what happens when you implement socialist like policies.

Exactly why we should push youth towards self employment. No job, no working like a slave until you’re 67. Be your own boss.
