Oh, I am very tired at the moment.

Ahbon?

Oh really?

Voussavez,mapetiteJulie,onn'apasuntravailfacile.

You know, my little Julie, we don't have an easy job.

Sionveutgagnersaviecorrectement,ondoitarrivertrèstôtetpartirtrèstard.

If we want to earn a living properly, we have to arrive very early and leave very late.

Oui,ouioui.

Yes, yes indeed.

Moiparexemple,j'arrivelematin,ilest6h206hetdemie,j'ouvrelekiosque,jecomptetouslesquotidiens,touslesmagazinesetenmêmetemps,biensûr,jeserslesclients.

For example, I arrive in the morning, it's 6:20 AM, I open the kiosk, I count all the newspapers, all the magazines and at the same time, of course, I serve the customers.

Toutçapourgagnerunsalaireridicule.

All this to earn a ridiculous salary.

We are paid based on the number of copies sold and you sell less and less with the internet and all that.

Lesventesdejournauxontbeaucoupbaissé.

Newspaper sales have dropped a lot.

And then you know, we work all the time, even when it's very cold like at the moment.

C'estpourçaquebeaucoupdegensarrêtentcemétier.

That's why a lot of people are quitting this job.

C'estdifficile.

It's difficult.

So they do something else.

You are not going to quit, Mrs. Quincampoix?

What do you think I would buy my magazine every week, me?

Well, don't worry my little Julie, it's not tomorrow that I will quit.

Maisvousvoyez,hein,sansnous,c'estunpeudeviequidisparaîtdanslequartier.

But you see, without us, it's a bit of life that disappears in the neighborhood.

Ehoui!

Oh yes!

IlyatellementdekiosquesquiontfermécesdernièresannéesquelaVilledeParisadécidédefairequelquechose.

There are so many kiosks that have closed in recent years that the City of Paris decided to do something.

Maisquoi?

But what?

Ça,jenesaispasencore.

That, I don't know yet.

Bon,enattendant,ceseraleTéléseptjoursdecettesemaine,commed'habitude.

Well, in the meantime, it will be on Télésept for seven days this week, as usual.
