Europe’s largest Postcapitalist land occupation

We have entered La ZAD (Zone A Défendre) – Europe’s largest postcapitalist protest camp – a kind of rural occupy on the eastern edge of Brittany, half and hour’s drive from the city of Nantes. Like a rebel constellation spread across 4000 acres of forest, farmland and marshes, it takes the form of old squatted farms and fields, DIY strawbale houses, upcycled sheds, theatres and bars cobbled from industrial pallets, hobbit like round houses, cute cabins built with the worlds waste, huts perched frighteningly high in trees and a multitude of other disobedient architectural fantasies.

Support Infoshop News

We need your help to continue funding of our basic operations and new original content. Infoshop News has been publishing a wide range of news, analysis and opinion, on a daily basis, over the past 17 years. Our news service was one of the first online news sites. We were one of the first political websites. Along the way we've brought alternative and anarchist news, opinion and information to hundreds of thousands of people. In 1999, along with the new Indymedia network, we covered the anti-WTO protests in Seattle in depth. Since then we've covered hundreds of activist events and campaigns. We've helped numerous solidarity campaigns and we've published original muckraking journalism.
