- An interview with Guillaume Roubaud-Quashie , director of the Maison Triolet-Aragon , in Saint-Arnoult-en-Yvelines. Elsa Triolet and Louis Aragon, one of the most famous couples in French literature, had settled in this mill, 50 km from Paris, where they rest. Today, it is a place that maintains their memory but also welcomes researchers, students and artists. After almost 3 months of closure, the house reopened its doors to the public on June 1, 2020.
- The column " La Puce ", by Lucie Bouteloup draws a canvas and looks at the beginnings of talking cinema.
