"A mobilization scheme has been validated in order to accommodate the migrants from Calais and Paris in shelters across the country," the document said, according to the paper. The document was dated September 1st, the paper reported, offering "guidelines" for regional authorities across France. It remains unclear exactly how the migrants will be distributed across France, although the document said that some 8,200 new spaces would be created nationwide to manage.
