It was a beautiful Sunday morning, filled with sunshine. We decided to let the rest of the gang sleep and go for an early walk to explore the ‘hood’
Had lots of fun discoveries along the way.
To celebrate Paris 2024 Games, and prepare for the flame handover to Los Angeles, 2028 host of Olympic and Paralympic Games, the City of Paris and Los Angeles County invited students from the Ecole Professionnelle Supérieure d’Arts Graphiques de Paris (EPSAA), ArtCenter College of Design, California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) and Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles to enter a competition. They have been asked to create a poster illustrating the Games and the friendship between the City of Paris and LA county.
This project is part of an entirely new form of cultural cooperation between the two Olympic cities, Paris and Los Angeles, in partnership with Los Angeles County and Seine-Saint-Denis region. Launched in 2024, the LA/ Paris collaboration will foster, between now and 2028, many cultural projects featuring artists from Paris and Los Angeles, among them this exhibition.
These 24 winning posters illustrate and celebrate the strong bond between the two cities, their cultural richness, and the values that bind them over the Atlantic. This exhibition will also be presented in Los Angeles this 2024 summer.
C’est la Vie!
Among them, 75 toddlers were torn from their families and died without burial.
In order to honor their memory, a stele was dedicated to them in this garden. Access to the squares, among other places, had been forbidden to Jews by the Vichy authorities on the orders of the Nazi occupier.
Let us never forget them.
