29/11/2013 – An informal settlement in Saint Ouen (Seine-Saint-Denis), reported by media as one of the largest Roma camps in France with an estimated 800 people living in it at one point, was forcibly evicted on the morning of 27 November 2013. Media reports estimated that of the approximately 250 people evicted on 27 November, about 70 were children. The vast majority of evicted inhabitants were reportedly left homeless, with nowhere to live, as temperatures dropped to 7 C at the onset of winter.
