In northern France, beaches turn to border zones as migrants wait months to cross the English Channel
- At dusk, as the solar eclipse cast a greyish tint over northern France last week, dozens of people packed a bus stop on the side of a highway, many of them carrying bright orange life jackets.
- Members of the group, which included women and some toddlers, said they'd been camping out in the nearby woods for months, waiting for a break in the wind and waves so they could try to board a boat to cross the English Channel.
- These days, they say, it's not easy to do.
