You are correct. Clichy-sous-Bois is in the outskirts of Paris. It's a city area that is unserviced by the Paris Rail system. It is the poorest region of greater Paris and about 40 minutes(drive) from downtown (so about 40 min from where the flats are.) Housing areas are called "Banlieue," it sort of means commune or suburb. The Clichy-sous-Bois is the area where in 2005 the mass riots began(in real life.) Most of the area is made up of giant housing project structures (a lot like Soviet Russian housing blocks.)<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;"><em>*Keep in mind that for you guys it's still 2010, because you will experience another 3 year jump in time after this series of events.</em></span><br/><br/>Also, you guys are correct the stories are all most likely linked together in someway.<br/><br/><br/><br/>
