Sitting down at the counter of a bar and listening to conversations. Here, one speaks of the world as it is seen from this almost perfect hexagon which has never seen itself other than as the epicentre of all earthly activities.

Even more so, the legitimate feeling of being home to one of the most beautiful European heritages has never stopped anyone reinventing as much the language and its slang, art and its cinema, music and its new influences which come from immigration. France seems old. It's a feint. The rhymers on the street occupy a place which is from now on as crucial as Molière. The wall painters, with an aerosol spray at hand, are as spoken about as the famous impressionists. A land of welcome and Human Rights, France is transforming itself, without ever giving up on anything which defines its difference. An epicurean intelligence.
