I like the French attitude towards nationalized gypsies, at least around the French Alps. They have zero tolerance for crime and unlike British police, are not intimidated by them but they also have a huge amount of respect for them and so do the French people. They encourage them to use their old passed down craft skills like basket weaving and give them a free pitch to sell their wares. They don't see a problem with them living off the grid providing they are law abiding.

There are loads of gypsies living around Briancon and I've never heard of any trouble.
