“That day, we received at the palace and, as in a setting, the curtain was not yet raised on the gilded stucco which is the pageantry of the Republic. A simple clothespin kept the Elysee secret, before the ambassadors, chain ushers and Republican guards opened the march to the president. (..) This clothespin was in a way our key to entering the Republic. The fragile barrier between reality and its representation, between symbols and tumults, history and our memories. ”
Raphaëlle Bacqué, Gérard Rondeau
