When you think urban gardens and vegetable patches, you might think locally produced food and self-sufficient cities, but feeding a whole city with just a few rooftop vegetable gardens was never going to be likely. So why are more and more of them springing up? Could these green spaces also be used for education, therapy and social integration? Laetitia Limmois investigates.

Tattooing began as an ancient symbolic practice and has evolved into an artform, but today it can also be used to cover scars, camouflage skin conditions and even reconstruct nipples after mastectomy, allowing people to cope better with the aftermath of accidents or illness. Laetitia Limmois meets reconstructive tattoo artists and uncovers the possibilities and the risks.

France’s Collages Féminicides movement is using public spaces as a forum to speak out against violence against women, whether sexual or domestic.

Our journalist Laetitia Limmois meets with the group’s activists.

Did you know that your old jeans could become a shoe, a car part or even a brick? It's entirely possible, thanks to the recycling of textile products.

We seldom speak about young people who choose to stay in rural areas. For them, living in the city is synonymous with stress and superficiality. The less they go, they better off they are. Journalist Camélia set off to the French countryside to meet with Jérôme, Guyliane and Mélanie – three young people who opened up about their daily lives, far from all clichés.
