On either side of the water, two groups form long ordered queues,albeit for different reasons. One queue is for those hoping to buy something to eat from a newgourmet hamburger truck (hour-long waits are normal). The other queue, almost all youngNorth African men, is for those hoping to find a seat on a bus to a homeless shelter on theoutskirts of the city.  周日夜晚，巴黎的圣马丁运河北面热闹非凡。运河的两岸，动机不一的两组人井然有序地排着长队。其中一组人是为了从一家新开的美食汉堡车上购买食品(为此排上几个小时的队毫无稀奇)。而另一组几乎全是北非男性，他们的目的是为了坐上一辆开往城郊流浪者之家的巴士。  Paris is no stranger to such contrasts.

Data collection is meagre andinfrequent. The last meaningful estimate by INSEE, France’s national statistics office, dates fromthe mid 2000s and pegged the number, including those sleeping rough or in emergencyshelters on any given night at around 12,000.
