Saint-Exupéry and La Ligne

  • 15 septembre 2010
Here is our report fresh from the exhibition at Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport, dedicated to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and l’Aéropostale. We take you to meet Clara Sigalevitch, curator of the exhibition, who explains her choice of settings.  This is an exhibition that makes you feel like a traveller, not a visitor…
 

 

 

Baobabs are now at the boutique!

  • 13 septembre 2010

Last week we spoke of Little Prince baobabs and the Inecoba association. You can now obtain 8 baobab seeds (Adansonia digitata – Bombacacea family – origin: Senegal) from the Little Prince Boutique. They are a Fair Trade product. In the book, baobab trees were dangerous because the Little Prince’s planet was so small, but we shall run no risk in growing one of these baobab seeds in our garden or on our balcony!

 

See you soon at the Little Prince boutique.

The Little Prince in T9: a UFO of the publishing world…

  • 10 septembre 2010

T9 is a method of intuitive text entry for sending text messages. T9 = text on 9 keys. This system is incorporated into most of today’s mobile phones. We found this curious unofficial edition of the Little Prince in T9 on the Internet. Every page consists of a series of figures. The book was published in Argentina, and if you wish to read it you will have to change your text messaging system language to Spanish.

The Planet of Time (9/10)

  • 9 septembre 2010

The planet of the king, the drinker, the lamplighter… Antoine de Saint Exupéry has had his Little Prince visit a number of very small planets. This visit to the planet of time shows us how the Little Prince’s new adventures take place in a very vast, deep universe where truly wonderful adventures and meetings take place.

Saint-Exupéry seen through the medium of a puppet show

  • 8 septembre 2010

When it comes to narrating someone’s life there are several options: for example a written biography, a biopic film ….. In Brazil, the Cia Mútua theatre company has chosen to recount the writer-pilot’s life by means of a puppet show. Their show, entitled “A prince called Saint-Exupéry”, follows the life of the great Saint-Exupéry from the time of his epic flights as an Aéropostale pilot up to his disappearance in 1944. We know that there is very considerable enthusiasm in Brazil for The Little Prince, and it is with much pleasure that we look forward to talking of this poetic show again in the very near future.

Saint-Exupéry and the Little Prince are often associated with sustainable development. Looking through last week’s Journal du Dimanche, we came across a story that Saint-Exupéry would have liked. In Pantin, department of Seine Saint Denis, the Saint-Exupéry school (!!) has had solar panels installed that make the establishment completely energy self sufficient. It even produces a surplus that it sells to EDF. What’s more the building is designed to retain the heat of the day.

Make a gift of a baobab tree!

  • 3 septembre 2010
No, it isn’t an early April Fool’s joke! The Little Prince and Inécoba (Institut pour l’Etude et la Conservation du Baobab – institute for the study and conservation of the baobab) have joined forces to offer packets of 8 seeds that meet fair trade rules. When you purchase these seeds, you will be supporting the work of Inécoba. Unlike the Little Prince, you won’t be taking a risk when you grow a baobab tree – and it won’t invade your living room or patio…

You can find Little Prince baobab seeds on the Inécoba website.

As you go to catch your plane…

  • 2 septembre 2010

If you happen to be going through Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport, don’t miss the Saint-Exupéry and Aéropostale exhibition. It has been designed for travellers from one era (airport users) about travellers from another era: the Aéropostale pioneers.

 

While you wait for the report on its inauguration, here are a few shots of the exhibition that is being held at the Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport for a month.
