Their approach is one in which the exhibition sits within a constellation of activities – publishing
Often working at the margins outside traditional institutions
they implement new methods of conceptualizing
They favor regional areas less saturated with projects which in turn offer more freedom and sometimes greater visibility
exemplifies the cultural dynamism of Greater Paris
she led programs for FLAX (France Los Angeles Exchange)
fostering collaborative projects like Lola Gonzàlez’s 2017 performance and film which brought together over 90 professional and amateur performers in LA’s Grand Park
Milone now directs the Centre Culturel Jean Cocteau
Rather than following a more traditional path with a large organization
Milone decided to work with a small public institution with a strong local presence
This more peripheral setting grants her ‘the freedom to experiment creatively,’ while staying true to her personal values and the core principles of her work
Her involvement in collaborative projects with the residents of Les Lilas reflects this
as she works to bring them together with established figures in the art world
such as Malala Andrialavidrazana and Josèfa Ntjam
she will present Célestin Spriet’s film featuring testimonies from gay local residents over 60 years of age
who reflect on growing up at a time when they were obliged to keep their sexuality secret – underscoring the importance of hidden community spaces
A similar mission drives Anna Labouze and Keimis Henni
an association supporting young artists’ professional development between Pantin and Marseille
The duo are the artistic directors of Les Magasins Généraux
a hybrid cultural center with a strong focus on emerging talents and tendencies
created by BETC in Pantin in the northeastern suburbs of Paris
They were also the curators of the first Contemporaine de Nîmes triennial in 2024
Motivated by the desire to ‘broaden the scope of art,’ they believe in social practice
which views art as a powerful tool for societal change – one that can be sometimes even more effective than other forms of action
While they often collaborate with well-known artists
their work doesn’t primarily target the cultural elite but instead focuses on formats and content designed for the communities in the neighborhoods they serve
The attraction of the outskirts can also be explained by the intellectual opportunities it offers
who was associate curator at the Fondation Vincent Van Gogh in Arles from 2015 to 2023
and the founder in 2016 of the curatorial project Extramentale
where she curated the Georgian pavilion for the 2024 Venice Biennale
She explains that her decision was driven by the need to establish a physical presence in a specific location
but instead of identifying interstitial spaces that stimulate thought
Both Arles and Venice share a seasonality that grants Marchand’s projects significant visibility during the global events hosted in these cities
the quieter months provide a calm environment ideal for research and development
This setting allows her to focus on long-term studies
which she explored in depth at Extramentale
A standout project in this area was The Very Scary Forest
a video game created by Saradibiza and specially designed for the Chapelle de la Charité in Arles for the 2021 Festival Octobre Numérique – Faire Monde
The game was later featured in ‘Worldbuilding: Video Games and Art in the Digital Age’ at the Centre Pompidou-Metz in 2023
Claire Luna’s interest in Latin America began at an early age
when the region was still relatively overlooked
she became a curatorial assistant at El Museo del Barrio in New York before returning to Paris
She was driven by a desire to bridge these diverse scenes
Luna’s work reflects a significant shift in perspective that shapes her approach to the field
Her research extends beyond Latin American artists
exploring a wide range of cross-disciplinary themes
such as the political and poetic dimensions of water
One notable example is ‘La rencontre des eaux’
and performances at the Cité internationale des Arts in Paris in 2021
inspired by a natural phenomenon in Brazil
created an ‘intermediate zone’ where the various projects by resident artists could intersect
Luna has continued her exploration of water through a series of exhibitions
a project that invited teenagers from Clichy-sous-Bois
to reflect on identity and displacement through the physical properties of water
she delved into filtration as a form of resistance and struggle with ‘Irrésistible’
All of these curators emphasize the nonmaterial aspects of their practice
This is evident in their methods of dissemination
as seen with the duo Pierre-Alexandre Mateos and Charles Teyssou
who curated the Conversations program at Art Basel Paris for its first three editions
these talks serve as an extension of their research
They envisioned their program for the Paris fair as ‘a salon of subversion
and a network of solidarity.’ They emphasize the program’s strong discursive dimension
‘This is particularly evident in the careful selection of speakers
as seen in the 2024 discussion at the Petit Palais
and Jamian Juliano-Villani – a choice which reflects our signature
Camille Bréchignac is a curator based in Paris.

As the celebrated Rencontres d’Arles open, discover the city’s key cultural players
WatchA new contemporary art triennial opens in the South of FranceThe inaugural edition of the Contemporaine de Nîmes pairs young talents with established artists to create a dialogue with the city
these three mosaic frescoes could disappear due to seepage problems within the station
"The station has problems of infiltration in places. A repair operation is underway. For the moment, only the white tiles on the walls have been removed. There are still the three mosaics. But they're in danger," Sylvain Oerlemans, president of the Racines du 93 association, told BFM Paris Île-de-France on January 16
So the association decided to take action. Racines du 93 has launched an online petition to save " this heritage work "
the petition has so far attracted over 6,800 signatures
In this petition, Racines du 93 points out that mosaicist Michel L'Huillier exercised his"moral right" on December 10, reminding RATP " to respect its initial commitments ". In an interview with Le Parisien on January 15
Michel L'Huillier explains that he has been in discussions with the Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens since 2023
and confides that he has no intention of " letting go"
RATP reiterates that it is " very attached to the heritage of the Paris metro "
but the technical constraints associated with the operation make it impossible to preserve them in situ "
adding that it would like to find solutions to " preserve the memory of this heritage or imagine a new intervention in homage to Georges Brassens "

Steve Buscemi as a clueless American tourist in Paris
these scenes capture the gritty realism of Parisian life
They were each filmed in a decommissioned subway station that’s been dedicated to film
and commercial productions for the past several decades
Yet Porte des Lilas remains something of an industry secret—even in the country where cinema was invented
and despite the fact that several films a year are shot there
this part of the station—a decommissioned area hidden behind a door in the otherwise functioning Porte des Lilas Métro stop
on the eastern edge of the city (one of a handful of ghost stations
in the Paris underground)—has been used as a film backdrop since the 1970s
For directors who want to shoot there today
€20,000 buys a “complete shoot” with a train and staff
the “studio” accommodates up to 150 people
with two platforms and up to five trains that can move about a kilometer or half a mile through a loop of tunnel that’s disconnected from the rest of the Métro system
The benefits of filming in Porte des Lilas are numerous
directors have total control of the environment
while maintaining the illusion of filming in a public space
they have the safety measures put in place by the Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens (RATP)
This is crucial when a filmmaker is shooting moving vehicles surrounded by high-voltage rails
To stage a sequence in which firefighters respond to a suicide jumper in the Métro
French director Frédéric Tellier was able to film directly on the tracks in the 2018 film Sauver ou périr (released in English as Through the Fire)
configured a similarly complicated Métro setup for his 2008 work
Les femmes de l’ombre (released in English as Female Agents)
The plot involves five female resistance fighters who plot to murder an SS colonel in the subway
until—spoiler alert!—their plan goes awry
Salomé originally planned to shoot this climactic scene on Boulevard Saint-Germain
But blocking off a busy part of the city was too complicated
he enjoyed the claustrophobic aspect of the Métro
which he says reinforces the idea that the five women
But there was a catch: The site didn’t have enough 1940s-era Métro cars
Salomé described filming the scene as a sort of “mathematical problem” that had to be solved (with special effects) in order to create the illusion that there were actually two full trains
“There were gunshots,” he says
Tellier says he was drawn to the site’s particular aesthetic quality
“I find it quite striking,” he says
this tunnel which a train with cars and people in it goes through
this distinctive yellow lighting inside the cars
There is something quite photographic [about it].”
a bus in order to further the plot of his film
Franck Pasquier (played by Pierre Niney)—a Parisian firefighter who becomes disfigured in a blaze—has to come to terms with how he looks; the underground setting provides a sort of veil of secrecy for the character’s spiritual and physical journey
set decorators created a fake advertisement for a perfume featuring a male model
Tellier says he wanted to capture “the exchange of looks” between Pasquier and the man in the ad
and to show the transportational reality of someone who wouldn’t have a chauffeur to drive him places
the high cost of renting the station limits the types of productions that can be shot there
Porte des Lilas is largely used for big-budget movies and commercial projects with significant financial backing.)
Behind each of these works is Karine Lehongre-Richard, the manager in charge of all shoots on public transportation in the Paris region. Dubbed “Madame Cinéma” by Le Parisien
Lehongre-Richard organizes around 60 projects a year
She handles all the administrative and logistical aspects
including reading scripts and studying a proposal’s technical feasibility
This involves coordinating not just film crews
is to show how Parisians’ lives are linked to public transportation
“It is as much a part of their daily lives as it is of the landscape,” she writes
“just like the great monuments and mythical neighborhoods.”
Many people outside the film industry don’t know about the station’s existence
But since 2012 it has been open to the public once a year
for European Heritage Day—a date when anyone can access some of the continent’s most interesting (and often restricted) sites
including the Palais-Royal and the archaeological crypt beneath Notre-Dame
but production in Porte des Lilas has been picking up again lately
Lehongre-Richard says that’s essential to furthering the heritage of the Paris Métro
which is classified as a historical monument
Its carriage was the first in the Paris Métro made entirely of metal instead of wood—a change prompted by a fire in 1903 that resulted in 84 deaths
The Sprague-Thomson is also featured in Julie & Julia
as director “Nora Ephron found our historical train beautiful,” writes Lehongre-Richard
But of all the films shot in Porte des Lilas
one international hit has done the most to promote Paris’s public transportation
“The film Amélie … is a postcard of Paris
but also of the Parisian Métro.” The film’s popularity—the café where Amélie worked
is now a tourist destination—has done much to shape foreign perception of the French capital over the past two decades
it’s hardly alone: From Funny Face (1957) to Midnight in Paris (2011) to Emily in Paris (2020)
movies and television shows have capitalized on the City of Lights’s enchantments and romantic allure
that many of these depictions take a narrow view of Paris
relying on stereotypes and frequently ignoring diversity
the titular character glides through a city seemingly free of trash
and makes few excursions to the outer arrondissements
Oscar-nominated art director and production designer Patrice Vermette worked in Porte des Lilas on Jean-Marc Vallée’s 2011 film
Vermette says Vallée is a music-oriented director who was inspired to film in the station by Serge Gainsbourg’s song “Le poinçonneur des Lilas” (“The Lilas Ticket Inspector”)
the title of the movie refers not to the popular Parisian café but to the song of the same name by British electronic musician Matthew Herbert
Café de Flore focuses on two seemingly unrelated stories—one set in 1960s Paris
Vermette remembers picking two Métro cars to fit the time period in France
but having to change the upholstery and work to cover up any anachronisms
the filmmakers even “dirtied up” some of the buildings
because the Paris of that era was much grimier than it is now due to pollution
Vermette says that scenes shot in the Métro today can still offer new views of a city that has captivated filmmakers since the dawn of cinema
“I think [the subway is a great place] to show the vibe of a city
especially like Paris,” says Vermette
“It’s just living the life as Parisians
portraying the city as if it’s natural

Vuillard came from a humble background - his mother was a corset-maker - and was attracted by painting from an early age
where Bergson and Mallarmé were teaching at the time
he met Ker-Xavier Roussel and Aurélien Lugné-Poe who drew him into the group of the Nabis
Vuillard's style was constructed on a stimulating paradox
Passionately interested in museum art - Le Sueur and Chardin - he was also attracted by the Synthetism of the Nabis
and became part of the avant-garde movement led by Emile Bernard and Gauguin

The Algerian singer who at times wore blue contact lenses to protest anti-Arab prejudice in his adoptive France died overnight after a heart attack at his home in the Paris suburb of Les Lilas.
PARIS (AP) — Algerian singer Rachid Taha, who thrillingly blended Arabic music with rock and techno and at times wore blue contact lenses to protest anti-Arab prejudice in his adoptive France, has died. He was 59.
Taha’s record label, Naïve, announced his death in a statement Wednesday on its Facebook page. It said he died overnight Tuesday to Wednesday following a heart attack at his home in the Paris suburb of Les Lilas.
Believe Digital, which owns Naïve, confirmed the veracity of the statement.
Taha had recently finished recording an album due for release in 2019. He was scheduled to film the first music video for one of the new songs, “Je suis Africain” (“I am African”), this weekend, Believe Digital said.
Born Sept. 18, 1958, in Algeria, Taha would have marked his 60th birthday next week. He moved to France at age 10 with his parents.
With the group “Carte de Sejour” (“Residence Permit”), Taha caused a stir in France in 1986 with a husky-voiced rocky cover of legendary singer-songwriter Charles Trenet’s sentimental, patriotic, “Douce France,” (“Sweet France.”)
The group distributed copies of the song in France’s parliament as lawmakers were debating changes to the country’s nationality laws.

Text description provided by the architects. Architects Matthieu Gelin & David Lafon designed both an office building and pavilion on this site in Paris, France. The office building required two different programs; housing both RATP office space on the ground level and circus office space on the second floor, each function was defined by use of materials.
The pavilion is a white folded shape that emerges from the ground at the entrance of the subway station Porte des Lilas. This monolithic shelter provides a dynamic shape and strong signal for travelers. Exceptional by its great dimension, its sharpness and folding is both artistic and functional, appropriately providing enough space for two buses.
After the break is further description about each project and photographs.
© Nicolas WaltefaugleA golden lacquered perforated steel sheet wraps the circus pavilion. This double skin works like a moucharabieh. The mesh, permeable to light, protects the various elements of the program such as toilets, reserves and the workshop. This materiality corresponds to the idea of a circus; by night the interior light becomes a lantern that participates in the entertainment.
© Nicolas WaltefaugleThe shelter is a pure construction. Its expression is linked to the elements of structure that compose it and which are necessary to its stability. The canopy holds its strength and continuity through materials. The folding that comes out from the ground forms both a wall and coverage. Pilars stroll freely like pedestrians in a group. The cover and the pilars are then read as two autonomous entities improving the perception of overhangs.
© Nicolas WaltefaugleIt is a major element of the square of du maquis du Vercors, as its lateral position gives a limit to this forecourt, and its orientation gives more strength to the north-south axis of the project. The urban component the pavilion provides helps in establishing the global functioning of this public place: bus terminus, subway entrance, shelters for free service cycles, meeting area for the cinema and the circus.

that transitions through its total use of materials including the paving stones
The shelter appears more as a sail delicately put in the limits of the square rather than an immovable building
The whole shelter was constructed with one material

A new program for kids is taking them out of French class and putting them into the community to practice their skills.
Camp Les Lilas is a new French drama and art day camp
The aim of the camp is to help children ages eight to 12 develop conversational French through games
Campers will also have the opportunity to visit local businesses to practice their French.
Morgan Elias and Josée Gratton are teachers and founders of Camp Les Lilas. Both Elias and Gratton wanted to develop a business together that helped kids continue their French education
“We just want to make it fun for kids to practice speaking French
and we feel like they do that best by playing games
and with each other as opposed to learning one-on-one,” said Elias
"We believe in these types of programs for kids and love being with the kids," adds Gratton.
The camp will run in Downtown Guelph at 10C starting July 18
During the week, campers will break into smaller groups with helpers based on skill and age throughout the day, and then reunite for different activities. In the future, Gratton and Elias hope to offer one week in July and one week in August
Elias and Gratton each have experience working at summer camps and tailoring their teaching to different students
which is why French speakers of all levels are welcome to Camp Les Lilas.
“It was important for us to create an environment where kids feel excited to learn,” said Elias
Despite having French immersion schools and French programs in schools in Guelph, Gratton said there aren't a lot of programs like Camp Les Lilas within the community
She notes day camps run by the University of Guelph do offer the option for french-speaking counsellors
“We have a lot of kids that are learning French in our community
but it’s sort of reserved to the school environment
and so this kind of offers them more real world experiences,” said Gratton.
“There are a lot of sports out there
and a lot of after school activities that are geared towards the musician or the athlete
but there’s not as much geared towards the arts
Gratton adds there are many studies that show the benefits of learning another language and hopes the program will make kids want to travel and continue learning French.
"I think a huge part of what we want to see with Les Lilas
is that we hope it will become sort of a community," said Gratton
Les Lilas will be offering French programs for children and adults
There will also be a Spanish class available for adults as well

Have you ever taken the metro to Porte des Lilas
you've found yourself just a few meters away from some of the world's greatest film stars
At the junction of lines 3 bis and 11 is a ghost metro station
a well-known place that ordinary travelers can't get to
this underground station was soon abandoned
as the planned junction between line 7 and line 3 (which later became line 3bis) was never built
This station does not appear on any maps intended for metro passengers
music videos and commercials follow one another at the Station cinéma: almost every week
this Porte des Lilas station is booked for film shoots
It's probably one of the most famous stations in cinema, even if it sometimes looks unrecognizable. However, the trained eyes of cinephiles and RATP-philes will come to recognize it: it's the setting for the film Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain, Alain Chabat's Santa & Cie
this station welcomes visitors often accustomed to the red carpet
and thanks to the magic of cinema and the work of set designers
Porte des Lilas transforms itself and takes on the name of any other station in the RATP network
" It's often used when a scene requires a lot of extras
or when we need to control the arrival and departure of the metro..." explains Karine Lehongre-Richard
this station has its own independent train
which can run for a kilometer without encumbering the conventional network
This train can be replaced by older RATP cars for filming purposes
The transport company retains its historic models and keeps them in working order
Line 6, with its aerial sections offering a breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower , is often used for filming
Shooting can also be organized at night or during off-peak hours
the benches and network maps displayed are years old
and even the noise and bustle of lines 11 and 3 bis are muffled
This setting, so commonplace, so present in the daily lives of many Parisians, is also represented in the cinema. It has played host to the greatest actors and directors of the 7th art, and has become just as symbolic of Parisian life as croissants or apartments with a view of the Eiffel Tower (well, when you live in the world ofEmily in Paris)
This station with its incredible history is not open to the public. It is sometimes possible to visit it, when RATP decides to showcase it, during the Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days)
you may be able to walk in the footsteps of Jean-Paul Belmondo
what's your favourite film shot at Porte des Lilas
The first 10-kilometre section is due to be completed within the next two and a half years
Many local residents have already discovered the project through sporting events such as La Grande Rando and the Trail des Hauteurs
a player in technological innovation for broadcasting and connectivity
has announced the launch of a 5G Broadcast certification platform
validate and structure the ecosystem of the broadcasting technology
the platform aims to ensure equipment interoperability and accelerate market adoption
equipment manufacturers and chipset producers
and other compatible devices to receive linear TV programs without requiring Wi-Fi or mobile data consumption
even in areas of high congestion or network saturation
The platform will enable the testing of a wide range of devices and solutions
the platform aims to facilitate the industrialization and large-scale deployment of 5G Broadcast equipment
supporting broader adoption within the market
TDF and its partners will explore end-to-end use cases that align with broadcasters’ needs and evolving consumption habits – particularly among younger
urban audiences who increasingly watch content on mobile devices
commented: “We are proud to announce that the 5G Broadcast platform will be soon operational at our Les Lilas site
By bringing together industry players—including broadcast equipment manufacturers
as well as software solution providers—we are paving the way for the next generation of broadcasting.”

This entry remains in the Atlas as a record of its history

At the end of gravel paths in the middle of Les Lilas
a black and scarlet entrance opens up to a door leading into a creepy garden mimicking a cemetery
Plastic bats and genuine human remains attached to trees linger like a dark omen for visitors
Be warned: You have just entered in the Museum of Vampires
This unique museum's story started many years ago
an eccentric but highly knowledgeable scholar and specialist of the macabre

and gathering syncretic information on demonology and the dogmas that generated them make Sirgent a fascinating storyteller who will patiently extrapolate for his visitors the tales of the mysterious relics that his curiosity cabinet contains
Comfortably seated on a crimson velvet couch, you’ll be thrilled and amazed by the cryptic history of Paris and the cemeteries where vampiric rituals were once practiced
medieval Christian hierarchy and its crusade against sin
“cannibal sorcery,” and the everlasting superstitions of the Undead
The museum is also a pure delicacy for the eyes
and antique books that might turn into dust if you touch them

Todibo's signing for Barcelona has raised eyebrows, but everything in his career so far suggests that he is ready for the challenge. LOIC VENANCE/AFP/Getty ImagesThe little Stade Municipal in Les Lilas hasn't changed much since the first time Jean-Clair Todibo walked in 10 years ago
It's still located at the bottom of a big council estate
with the main pitch in the middle and the training ones next to it
who joined this small club in the north of Paris
with a first-team currently competing in the fifth tier of the French league system
He used to come and train here two or three times a week between then and the age of 16
Two-and-a-half years ago, Jean-Clair Todibo was still playing here, captaining the under-17s. Now, the 19-year-old is set to line up alongside Lionel Messi at Barcelona next season after agreeing to a deal to sign for the Catalan club on a free transfer this summer
Todibo had never played a professional game in his life
It's a fairytale story that only football (and especially French football) can write
driven and ambitious," Les Lilas sporting director Bruno Coton-Pelagie
"But he was a local kid from the next town over
but he worked so much to become better and to make it to the top."
Coton-Pelagie also admitted: "It is an incredible story and one that you could not have predicted when he was 17
We never thought his rise would be so quick
but he deserves a lot of credit for making it happen."
Todibo was not among the best players in his Les Lilas team
So he did what few kids might do in that situation: He kept working
"When his training session with the Under-17s was finished
he was asking if he could train with the under-19s," Todibo's former coach Amadou N'Diaye said to ESPN
"And he would do really well with them as well
and he knew what he wanted and what he had to do to make it
He was doing his warm-ups before training would start
He was always pushing him and was really strict and demanding
but Jean-Clair was relishing the challenges given by his brother
The pride in Coton-Pelagie's and N'Diaye's words is clear
as is the case with everyone else at the club
6-foot-2 centre-back with pace and great technical abilities

he played for the U-19 team but wasn't offered a professional deal until he made the breakthrough into the first-team this season
It took the club two years to realise what a talent they had on their books
and by then it was too late: Todibo refused to sign
the defender was frozen out by Toulouse and hasn't played for the club since Nov
As soon as Barcelona made their interest clear
Very few young players refuse a chance to play at Camp Nou
and if you think Todibo is apprehensive about the idea of joining such a big club
After years of fighting mentally and physically on the rough pitches of the Parisian suburbs
after being run over by a car at 8 years old and fearing he would never play football again (he has one leg longer than the other since the accident) and after making a huge impression on Ligue 1 despite his inexperience this season
he was so upset after a loss that I had to talk to him for an hour to console him
This also comes from the education Todibo received
He was not the kind of kid to be out on the streets late at night
He worked well at school and wanted to do well at everything he was doing," Coton-Pelagie said
who was signed by Real Madrid from Lens as an 18-year-old back in 2011
talented and determined but has his feet firmly on the ground
telling the same jokes and talking about the same things
He will never change," Coton-Pelagie said with a smile
Barca felt they could not afford to miss out on a talent such as Todibo; the teenager could not miss such an opportunity
as the competition for places will be fierce
but given where he was playing two-and-a-half years ago
seeing their prodigy leave on a free transfer like this is hard to swallow
The club has decided not to talk about it publicly
owner Olivier Sadran and the club's hierarchy are still livid
"We made him a really good offer to sign his first professional contract with us
better than any other youngster in our history
We need players who are committed and invested," Jean-François Soucasse
Sadran, on the other hand, has chosen only to criticise Barcelona
"They haven't behaved like a big club," he told L'Equipe
it's extraordinary: They declare that the player will be with them in July
but I don't know anyone who knows what will happen in six months
"We also have some of the responsibility," he said
the player has been badly advised in the sense he has 10 Ligue 1 matches under his belt
Barca also haven't lived up to what they should be."
He will keep following his destiny and believing in himself
just like he did in Les Lilas when he was a kid
Jean-Clair Dimitri Roger Todibo was born in Cayenne
the capital of the French overseas region of French Guiana – the largest French-speaking city on the South American continent
His father was a coach at nearby Red Star FC
Todibo credits his mother for his upbringing
Todibo - nicknamed 'JC' - played at FC Les Lilas
where he faced former Aston Villa forward Moussa Diaby and AS Monaco midfielder Youssouf Fofana as a schoolboy when his current France international colleagues were playing for fellow Paris-based junior club Espérance Paris 19ème
In an interview with French magazine Onze Mondial
We faced each other when we were little and now
after suffering a serious leg injury in a car accident at the age of nine
he had to stop his activities for a period
He then returned to football at an Academy run by former Liverpool and France midfielder Bernard Diomède
he departed FC Les Lilas and moved south to join Toulouse FC's Academy
After debuting for Toulouse in France’s Ligue 1 at the age of 18 in August 2018
Todibo attracted attention from some of Europe’s top clubs and was signed by Spanish giants FC Barcelona in January 2019
He played five times for Barcelona over the next 12 months
but competition for places from the likes of Gerard Piqué
Samuel Umtiti and Clement Lenglet saw him depart on loan
first to German club Schalke 04 in January 2020
then Portuguese side Benfica in October of the same year
Having made 27 club appearances for four clubs in four different countries
Todibo returned to France to join OGC Nice on an initial loan deal on 1 February 2021
before signing permanent terms that summer
playing 138 matches across three-and-a-half seasons
reaching the Coupe de France final in 2022 and helping Nice achieve two fifth-place finishes in Ligue 1
Todibo played alongside a number of past and future Premier League and EFL players during his three-and-a-half seasons with OGC Nice
he played with former AFC Bournemouth and current Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Mario Lemina
one-time Aston Villa left-back Jordan Amavi
former Manchester United and Everton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin and current Bournemouth winger Justin Kluivert
the squad also included Leicester City’s Premier League winning goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel
Luton and England and future Aston Villa midfielder Ross Barkley
along with former Bristol Rovers and current Millwall full-back Joe Bryan and one-time Wigan Athletic midfielder Andy Delort
he lined up alongside on-loan Southampton midfielder Romain Perraud and former Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Sanson
After being capped nine times at U20 level
Todibo made his senior France debut in a 2-1 friendly loss to Germany on 12 September 2023
following the likes of Loïc Remy and Hatem Ben Arfa in becoming Nice players capped by Les Bleus. His second cap and competitive debut for his country came two months later in France's record 14-0 UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying win over Gibraltar on 18 November last year

Several thousand people have signed an online petition against the imminent opening of the Serge Gainsbourg station, a new stop on an extension of line 11 in Les Lilas. The northern district was celebrated in his famous early hit, Le poinçonneur des Lilas (the ticket-puncher of Les Lilas).
The petition says: “Serge Gainsbourg’s violence towards women and his paedophile criminal and even incestuous tendencies (to name but a few) are public knowledge, and we are outraged that he should be honoured in the Paris Metro.”
Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin in 1968. The couple were described as “a sort of French royal family” after her death in JulySUNSET BOULEVARD/CORBIS/GETTY IMAGESThe affair is the latest episode in France’s #MeToo
The Frenchman has opened up on his brief experience in the Old Trafford academy ranks before his move to Toulouse
Barcelona defender Jean-Clair Todibo has revealed that Manchester United refused to sign him after a trial in his teenage years
Todibo began his professional journey at Toulouse
where he spent three years before being snapped up by Barcelona on a free transfer in January 2019
The French centre-back's career trajectory could have been quite different had United decided to offer him a contract before he moved to Stadium de Toulouse from Les Lilas as a youth player
The 20-year-old says he was pleased with how he performed during his brief trial with the Red Devils
but was left in the dark when they decided against bringing him onto their books permanently
"It was crazy, I went from Les Lilas to United," Todibo told Onze Mondial
"It was a dream that was coming true when I hadn’t done anything
"I don’t know why my trial didn’t lead to anything
I still haven’t received an explanation to this day."
The defender's first year at Barca was a frustrating one
as he was restricted to just five first-team appearances amid strong competition for places alongside the likes of Gerard Pique
The Blaugrana decided to send Todibo out on loan to Schalke in the winter transfer window
and he featured in ten games for the German outfit before missing the end of the 2019-20 campaign through injury
The France U20 international feels he was unfairly omitted from Barca's squad on a number of occasions in the first half of the season
I did not mind not playing because in training
I didn’t make a big deal out of it because it was the choice of the coach and I understand
he’s a great player - but I think I could have played certain matches."
The Local Europe ABVästmannagatan 43113 25 StockholmSweden
One of Europe's most densely populated cities
Paris has over two million people living within its boundaries
As those inhabitants walk along the Champs-Elysées or Rue de Rivoli
they might be entirely unaware of the extensive underground world that exists below their feet
These are some of the hidden gems beneath the famous monuments in the City of Light:
The catacombs are also known as the Ossuaire Municipal
and they are located at the site of former limestone quarries
The Ossuaire as we know it was created during the 18th century
because the city's cemeteries could not withstand its population growth and public health concerns began to be raised
Gradually the remains of millions of Parisians were moved underground
Atlas Souterrain------- de -------La Ville de #Paris------ 1855 ------#Catacombes #Carte #Urbs pic.twitter.com/XsDWmsweX8
The bones of Parisians only comprise a small section of Paris' 'carrières' (or quarries)
These subterranean passages have fascinated cataphiles for many years - with stories of secret parties
the catacombs infamously served as a location for clandestine parties
over 35 people were ticketed for participating in underground raves
#LeSaviezVous ? | Les 👮♂️👮 du GIP de la DOPC mènent des missions de sécurisation dans les anciennes carrières de #Paris !Ce week-end, ils ont mis fin à plusieurs soirées clandestines organisées dans ces galeries souterraines.👉 35 cataphiles verbalisés pic.twitter.com/XMSQK7oQiQ
The network even has its own police service
who are a specialised police brigade in charge of monitoring the old quarries in Paris
Though these quarries might be a location to secretly throw back a few pints
they are also connected to beer for another reason
as they are the ideal environment to both store and make beer - with consistently cool temperatures and nearby access to underground water sources
invested in the quarries underneath its premises
using them to store the thousands of barrels of beer that it produced each year
the brewery simply turned its basement into a real underground factory
If you really want to visit the ancient underground quarries specifically
you don't have to just go to the catacombs
You can also do so by visiting the "Carrières des Capucins."
access to these tunnels is allowed to the public (with reservation) in small groups
As for entering the rest of the old quarry system
that has been illegal to enter the old quarries since 1955
which has not stopped several curious visitors and explorers from trying to discover what secrets might be underground
this museum might not be at the top of a tourist's list in the same way the Louvre or Musée d'Orsay might
but the museum of sewers actually has a lot of fascinating history to share
It took almost a century to build Paris' sewage system
and it is largely to thank for the city's growth
protecting the public health of inhabitants by helping prevent disease outbreaks
Visiting the sewers is not a new activity either - according to the museum's website
visits were met with immense public success
the reason being that this underground space had always been hidden from the curious eyes of all those who dwell on the surface of Paris."

A total of 16 Metro stations go unused underground in Paris - some were built and never put into use
others were decommissioned after World War II
The most famous is Porte des Lilas - a working Metro station that has an unused 'ghost' section which these days is used for filming scenes in movies and TV
If you've ever watched a scene set in the Metro
chances are it was filmed at Porte des Lilas
which has a section of track that Metro cars can move along if needed for action sequences
The extra section was taken out of commission in 1939 due to under-use
and in the 1950s it served as a place to test new metro cars
Beware if you find yourself in Haxo station - it does not have its own entrance or exit and is only accessible by following the Metro tunnels. It is one of the six that never opened
Other stations were closed for being too close to other stations
which was closed after World War II as it was too close to Strasbourg-Saint Denis
These phantom stations are usually off-limits to the public
but sometimes access is allowed for special guided tours or events
Paris' underground played an important role during the Second World War
there is the French resistance command bunker
which is now part of the Musée de la Libération at Place Denfert Rochereau
It was from here that Resistance leaders co-ordinated the battle for the liberation of Paris in 1944

There is also the anti-bombardment bunker near Gare de l'Est
but it is opened on Heritage Day in September
The bunker was originally commissioned in 1939 to keep trains running
and it was completed by the Germans in November 1941
It is located between Metro tracks 3 and 4
The bunker itself - which can fit up to 50 people - has basically been frozen in time
but what about the underground river that flows through the city of Paris
the Bièvre river flowed through the city as well
running through Paris' 13th and 5th arrondisements
tanners and dyers set up shop next to the Bievre
The river eventually became quite polluted and concerns arose that it might be a health hazard
Georges-Eugène Haussmann decided that the Bièvre had to go
and now what remains of the river flows beneath the city
with some parts of it joining Paris' sewage system

you would know that the Phantom's lair is below the Palais Garnier (the Opera house)
and that Christine and the Phantom must cross a subterranean lake to get there
This body of water is not a figment the imagination of Gaston Leroux - though not an actual lake
a large water tank can be found below the grounds
It is even used to train firefighters to swim in the dark
🎶 The Phantom of the Opera is... probably not here, but you can see the underground water tank which inspired his lake beneath Palais Garnier. https://t.co/mzWPuORKAO pic.twitter.com/TNq4EWzX8o
The Montsouris reservoir is one of Paris' primary drinking water sources
The structure resembles a kind of underground water cathedral and is home to over 1,800 pillars
which support its numerous vaults and arches
but its rare beauty means that it's often photographed by urban explorers
This made me think of what we've in #France : the Montsouris water reservoir #Paris pic.twitter.com/7QI3D9AcjK
And last but not least - the 'mushroom houses.' Les champignons de Paris have been grown below the capital's soil for centuries
READ MORE: Inside Paris’ underground mushroom farms
"Paris mushrooms" have been grown since the 17th century
The rosé des près (meadow pink) mushrooms were a favourite of Louis XIV and were originally grown overground - their colour comes from the limestone that Paris is build on
which provided more space and allowed the fungi to be cultivated year-round
but eventually the construction of the Paris Metro pushed many growers out of the capital
there are just five traditional producers in operation - Shoua-moua Vang runs the largest underground mushroom cave in the Paris region
spread across one and a half hectares of tunnels in a hill overlooking the Seine river

The ghost stations on the above map are; 1 Haxo
Visiting them alone isn't recommended and is illegal, but some are open to the public for the Journées du Patrimoine (Annual Heritage Days). Thankfully, and thanks to Paris Zig Zig
there is plenty of information about the abandoned underground stations
workers were called up to fight in the army
The lack of personnel and the need to cut costs meant that many stations were closed
Stations such as Arsenal (near Bastille in the east)
Saint-Martin (near Place de la République)
or Croix-Rouge (in the Latin Quarter) were among these
The Saint-Martin station still has adverts from the 1940s on its walls
The halls are currently used as a day centre for the homeless
Many of these ghost Metro stations have undergone transformations and are still used for a variety of different reasons
known as known as Gare du Nord USFRT has been converted into the training grounds for new Metro drivers while Arsenal is used to train technicians
The former Porte Maillot station in the north-west of Paris is now used for maintaining the trains
The entrance to the Martin Nadaud station near the Père Lachaise cemetery in eastern Paris is now used to access Gambetta
was rebuilt a couple of metres away to facilitate the connection with the suburban RER train station when it was built in the 1970s
The original Victor Hugo station in western Paris has also been rebuilt
New trains that came into service in the 1930s couldn't handle the initial sharp corner safely and it was decided to move the station a few metres north
Portes des Lilas station in the north-east of the city is a working station - line 11 passes through it - but it also has a secret 'ghost' section that is used for filming
Crews can either just film on the platform
perhaps with 1930s adverts added for a period piece
or have a train moving along the track itself for an action sequence
in which case transport operator RATP will
Filming elsewhere on the Metro network is not allowed
so if you have ever seen a film or TV show with a scene on the Paris Metro
the chances are it was shot at Porte des Lilas
READ ALSO Why Paris is a world-leader for film and TV
The tunnels to reach Porte Molitor near Bois de Boulogne in Western Paris and Haxo station in the north east of city were never built
A platform inside the Invalides station by the River Seine is also closed-off and has never been accessed by a train
The Porte de Versailles station in the south of Paris has been replaced and all that remains from the original station are the tiles on the walls
The previous platforms have been torn down to make space for a train garage
there was hope for transport buffs (and swimmers) when Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet
who was running for mayor proposed that the old Metro stations be transformed into cinemas and underground swimming pools
who decided that she had other priorities for the city's transport network

New accesses to the Mairie des Lilas metro 11 station Per la versione in Italiano: https://www.stradeeautostrade.it/ferrovie-e-metropolitane/nuovi-accessi-alla-stazione-m11-mairie-des-lilas/
The extension project of Paris Metro Line 11 towards Rosny-Bois-Perrier included the commissioning of the Line with one more car per trainset (five cars instead of the current four)
This extension involved the adaptation of existing infrastructures to ensure compliance to all present norms and regulations in terms of passenger evacuation
The Mairie des Lilas station is currently the terminus station of Line 11 and it started its service in 1937
It is a station located about 17 m below the Boulevard de la Liberté
The waiting room and hallways are located under the Place du Colonel Fabien
The station development project involved the construction of two lifts accessible to people with reduced mobility and a new access
The two lifts are within located in the current main access and constitute the new North and South accesses serving the existing ticket office and
the platform towards Châtelet and the platform towards Rosny-Bois-Perrier
The secondary East access is a new access to the station
This access consists of two fixed stairs that will be at the end of the platform towards Châtelet and at the head of the platform towards Rosny-Bois-Perrier (on the odd-numbered sidewalk of the Boulevard de la Liberté)
The site is located in the Romainville Plateau overlooking the marne River valley towards South
the Seine valley towards South-West and the Plaine Saint-Denis towards North
The secondary East access is located on the odd-numbered sidewalk of the Boulevard de la Liberté
It will provide access with two fixed stairs to the platforms towards Châtelet and towards Rosny-Bois-Perrier
This access was realized partly by means of the “puits blindé” method and partly with conventional tunnels
The surveys carried out at buildings adjacent the structures indicated shallow foundations (mainly continuous footings)
The buildings located at street numbers 11 and 13 of Boulevard de la Liberté (R + 4 and R + 3) were underpinned by a sheet piling connected to a foundation beam
the excavation method for the East access was revised following the recommendations of the project phase (PRO)
This was possible thanks to the experience gained with the main access works, the North and South accesses, and to a better soil knowledge (www.enser.fr)
The main idea was to divide the work into three areas
quite independent from the rest of the structure and superficial
The second and third areas cover most of the structure and were excavated starting from two access pits
the “Big Pit” 2.1 (GP2.1) from the East area and the “Big Pit” 2.2 from the West area (GP2 .2)
with the construction of a pit (“Small Pit” PP) in front of the future access pit GP2.2
and its design was completed before the excavation of the GP2.1 and GP2.2 pits
the excavation works first concerned the East area
with the excavation of the GP2.1 for a depth of 13 m and 820 m3 of excavated material
after the realization of a reinforcement frame
tunnel 3 was excavated in two sections of 16.2 m2 surface and 7.5 m length
the excavation continued with a deepening of 5.2 m (Deepening 4) on both sides of Line 11 tunnel
The excavation method for the GP2.2 area was similar
except for the excavation of 2 niches during Deepening 7
A 3D finite elements model (FEM) has been set up for the planned excavation phases of the Secondary East Access to analyze the effects of works on the existing structures and to validate the construction procedure
the displacements in the Mairie des Lilas station
in neighboring buildings and in the road network were evaluated
An analysis of the stresses on the existing structures was also carried out
as well as a forecast of the settlements and forces expected in the provisional retaining works
The numerical model was created with PLAXIS 3D software
The domain extends for 140 m in the direction of Line 11 tunnel axis and for 90 m in a perpendicular direction to avoid boundary effects
To simulate the behavior of the soil layers
a non-linear elastoplastic law with hardening and Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion (Hardening Soil Model – HSM) was considered
With respect to the tunnel vault settlements
it was possible to make a comparison in terms of centerline uplift at the end of the most important phases
The pit excavation in phase 1 (Small Pit) generated a slight uplift of the vault and this displacement was compensated by the reinforced concrete coating
Subsequent excavation works have caused a vault uplift to an extent that is comparable to forecasts
The only main difference was recorded during the excavation of the GP2.1 and GP2.2 pits (“big pits”)
where the execution phase deviated further from the modelling phase
It is also interesting to compare the displacements of the buildings most affected by the project
located on the North side of the completed works
the measured displacements are not strictly comparable with those predicted by Finite Elements Model
This was due to the construction of a micro-piles retaining wall for the underpinning of these buildings that was not considered in the numerical model
This choice was made to have a more prudential settlements evaluation
by taking into account that the micro-piles had to be cut for niches excavation
the comparison of the settlements is also significant for building n
which showed the most important displacements during the final excavation works steps
the registered settlements were found to be compatible with the defined thresholds
without prejudice to the discrepancies regarding the execution phases and in line with the simplifications taken into account in the modeling
envisaged some displacements that could be compared with the measured values
