Syringes in the sandpit: The Paris garden for kids and crack addicts

Groups of men sit on park benches with litter up to their knees. Others lie face down in the dirt. The smell of urine and rubbish festering in the sunshine hangs in the air.

Dealers known as modous move among the bushes, whispering incentives to seduce their clients with crack from the “kitchen” on a nearby street.

A man in shorts performs a solitary dance. Another lights his crack pipe and waits for the high to kick in.
