THR Rendez-vous

Why I stop (at least for now) to publish THR-rendezvous in English

I have decided to stop publishing (at least for now) THR-rendezvous in English because I think it is strategically more important for me to devote time to what in happening in France. To be part of the debate in France, French is the language to use. Voilà. Thank you for your attention and à bientôt on Vaperendezvous. I'll eventually make exceptions to this new personal rule: c'est l'exception qui confirme la règle.

A good picture is worth a thousand words: 3 prints by Daumier

Today, as my next guest is a bit late returning his answers I have chosen to post three cartoons by Daumier that are about tobacco smoking. The City Council of Strasbourg has decided to prohibit smoking in public parks. That reminded me of a 1843 print by Daumier about the prohibition of smoking in the Tuileries Gardens in Paris. An original is apparently at the Art Museum in Chicago but not on display. E-cigs are included in the ban. I wonder if this decision will inspire today's cartoonists.
