Houdan, the village with the lowest unemployment rate in France | M6 | 66 minutes

At first sight, it’s a village just like any other in the Ile de France: 3,500 residents, a church tower, a small square, but above all, and this is where Houdan stands out, dozens of businesses, tiny SMEs packed tight in business parks and an unemployment rate that is the envy of the whole of France: 4.8% instead of at least 10 on a national scale. Behind this success is a mayor, one who may well be affiliated to the Republicans, but one who applies policies worthy of a socialist like Mélenchon: no McDonalds, no supermarkets, no warehouse” factories, but factories that provide work for people. Right in the heart of the Yvelines, less than an hour from Paris, it is possible to create prosperity in a tiny corner of France… An investigation into the world of work.”
