the clichés that impacted France

During the year 2021, several photographs marked the minds of the French. Those of the French astronaut Thomas Pesquet, who left Earth for the second time, in order to share with the world unpublished pictures of the blue planet seen from space. On the ground, vaccination centers were taken by storm while Martinique saw a refusal of vaccines turn into urban violence. The images of the trial of the November 11 attacks also caught the attention of the French. And for good reason, it was the largest audience ever organized in France.

The photo of a mother and her three children, a few days before their drowning, also circulated a lot after the sinking of the boat which was supposed to take them to England. Finally, the French were marked by the photograph of an exhausted firefighter during the summer period when several fires had broken out in the south of France, in particular in the Var.
