La Ligne online!
| La Ligne? That was the name given to l’Aéropostale, the famous airmail line founded by Pierre-Georges Latécoère at the end of the Second World War, flying from Toulouse to Casablanca, then Dakar, and finally on to South America. Guillaumet, Mermoz and Saint-Exupéry were the first crop of heroes to take part in this epic adventure. Saint-Exupéry went on to be appointed airfield director at Cap Juby (Tarfaya, Morocco) and in Argentina. |  |
 |
In tribute to these pioneers of the air, the association La Ligne is organising a major commemorative event. From 18 to 27 September 2010, an original Bréguet XIV will take off from Toulouse and fly over the stages once flown by La Ligne. Check out the flight plan and the programme of the event on the La Ligne website. |
Visit to the museum
| François d’Agay, President of the Succession Saint-Exupéry-d’Agay estate, paid a visit to the recently re-opened Musée des Lettres et Manuscrits on 22 June. His visit took in the exhibition dedicated to Marcel Proust and, of course, the section given over to letters and manuscripts in the hand of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry himself. Here on display are the originals of the letters to a fair unknown, the famous love letters written by Saint-Exupéry in which the Little Prince is represented on a number of occasions. |  |

The day it all began
For our last escapade in Japan, here are some of the highlights from the official opening of the Little Prince motorway service area in Yorii. A delightful musical introduction is followed by words from Olivier d’Agay, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s great-nephew and director of the Succession Saint-Exupéry-d’Agay estate, who sees in this new development a splendid expression of the Little Prince’s values. Following in the footsteps of the Hakone theme park, the Yorii service area is the second location in Japan dedicated entirely to the Little Prince.

Back Home: on the Little Prince’s planet
|
The Internet is full of surprises, and one we discovered just recently is Back Home, a free, independent online game in which we find the Little Prince on his planet. The aim is not exactly to attend to the planet’s toilet, but almost; there are all sorts of tasks designed to take care of the rose, the volcano and the famous sheep, all in the right, harmonious order. And if the sheep eats the rose, then it’s definitely game over!
Since it’s Friday, why not take a short break and try playing Back Home! |

The Little Prince store in Japan…
Once visitors to the Little Prince motorway service station at Yorii are relaxed and refreshed, they can take the opportunity to visit a small stand offering a range of Little Prince products. Bearing in mind that the Little Prince is a popular icon in Japan, right up there with characters from Miyazaki’s films (Laputa, Kiki the apprentice witch, Princess Mononoke et al), it will come as no surprise to see a selection of objects closely related to the character: the baobab, the rose, soft toys, mouse pads and even leather goods. The Little Prince is a much-loved hero in Japan, as the photos below clearly illustrate.
