During lockdown in France, all shops dealing in culture, books, music, theaters, cinemas, etc, were closed. Oh, there was a way... Making some online billionaires even richer. Thankfully, I had enough books to last a long time.

The magnificent industry

L'industrie magnifique is the name of a monumental  art exhibition all around town, from June 3rd till June 13th. Will show you more as soon as I take the photos. This is called Terre de Ciel, earth of heaven, by Patrick Bastardoz, made of bricks, roof tiles and metal. It's about the tower of Babel. See below...
