Like the rest of the Western world, France knows a booming  economy but also experiences the struggles of the Baby boom generation trying to find its place in a changing environment.  Decolonisation in Africa continues at apace. However,  is it really happening?  Man on the Moon by 1969, new technologies  coming on stream at an ever faster pace, social changes never seen before:   France is trying hard to follow the industrial leaders in the world. But at what costs....?   A little glass of wine helps to articulate one's thoughts during the course.
