Sikhs in France want their children to be allowed to attend school wearing a turban and they're hoping for an exemption to the ban on religious symbols in French state schools.

Although there are no official statistics on religion, it is estimated that there are around 30,000 Sikhs in France, a relatively small number, compared to other religions in France.

Sikhs say their religion is not properly understood.
They maintain that the turban is different because it is obligatory for Sikhs whereas Muslim veils and Jewish skullcaps are not obligatory for their followers.
