In the depths
MiscellaneaMany thanks to the Japan Foundation and the House of Japanese culture in Paris (Maison de la Culture du Japon à Paris) for the wonderful Fukami exhibition, held in the Salomon de Rothschild mansion. It was perfect from start to finish, with an amazing choice of works of art, a splendid venue, and a marvelous staging.

the Liberation
MiscellaneaA homage to general Leclerc was organized this October. It celebrated the man who became known as the liberator of Paris during the second World War for entering the city first, with an armored division, helped by the pressure of US and allied forces coming from Normandy.

In the arena
MiscellaneaThe compagnie Acta provides reconstitutions of gladiator fights in the ancient arena of Arles. They do a good, documented job, worth a few shots !
