In contrast to the controversial French government policy this summer of organising mass expulsions of Roma, local authorities in the Greater Paris Region run six social reinsertion camps, tactfully called 'villages', aimed at integrating them into more stable social conditions. In the third of our five-part series, Georji Stoynev, 36, speaks of his experiences in one of the camps, in Bagnolet, living with his wife in 12 square metres shared with two other men - and how he has finally gained a ten-year residence permit, legal employment and a home.
