AFP photographer Kenzo Tribouillard came to Paris's airport on Monday expecting to cover a typical demonstration by Air France employees over management's plans to cut costs at the struggling national carrier. Then things quickly got out of hand.
Clinching a spot on board a helicopter, watching world leaders march under tight security, or melting into the heart of the crowd, AFP photographers Kenzo Tribouillard, Eric Baradat and Joel Saget share their experience of the historic January 11 unity march in Paris.
"This has been a tragic year for journalists," writes Kenzo Tribouillard. "But there were also moments of great joy and relief for the profession, and I was lucky enough to witness one of them. On April 20 at dawn, I headed to the Villacoublay military airport outside Paris to cover the homecoming of four French journalists, held captive in Syria for months."
