What new things does Florent see in Paris when he returns?

There are new streets, new taxes, and a new government. The old Marché des Innocents or Market of the Innocents has been replaced by the monolithic markets of Les Halles. The Paris Florent once loved has become a feeding ground for the petits-bourgeois. Merchants and shopkeepers, small-time bureaucrats and loyalists in support of the new Empire have turned the Les Halles neighborhood into a gluttonous, fear-driven den of hypocrisy and pettiness.
