Château Rouge is an area in the eighteenth arrondissement, one of the northern parts of Paris. It has become in recent years a hotspot for people selling pirate DVDs, electrical equipment and knock-off cosmetic products.
The angry residents of Rue Dejean have set up an association called “La Vie Dejean”. They upload pictures and videos to their Facebook page to attest to their neighbourhood having become a “public bin”.
“It's a real disgrace, what is happening at Chateau Rouge,” said one resident, while another resident described it as a “state of asphyxia”.
