THE EDITORIAL | Two years for the City of Light to shine with a thousand lights
With a long electoral cycle coming to an end, it is time for Paris and Parisians to focus their efforts on preparing for
the 2024 Olympic Games. Indeed, there are two years left to re-enchant the capital and successfully host this quadrennial
global sports competition.
Two years to enhance certain emblematic Parisian public spaces, for example the avenue des Champs-Elysées.
Two years to highlight certain elements of the cultural, architectural and artistic heritage of the City, for example
the Place de la Concorde.
Two years to take care of certain image traits of Paris and Parisians, for example in terms of hospitality and
cleanliness.
Two years, finally, to guarantee the security of the Olympic events and the opening and closing ceremonies of the Games,
in particular in the setting of the banks of the Seine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Two years for the City of Light to sparkle and dazzle the world: on your marks, get set, let's go!

THE INTERVIEW | Yara LAPIDUS announces the color
Franco-Lebanese born in Beirut, Yara LAPIDUS is a singer-songwriter. After Yara (2009), Indefinitely
(2018), Just A Dream Away (2019), in 2022 she released a new invitation to travel, resolutely pop, Back to Colors.
Paris and the French language are omnipresent in your artistic career. Why such a love story?
As a child in Beirut, I remember heavy bombardments, I consumed myself with health, youth and I stayed confined to
the house with my books, often by candlelight (constant power cuts... ). This vitality, which was not spent, was
unleashed in whirlwinds in my head, and I could not express it otherwise than by writing...
Arrived in Paris at 19, France embodied the height of elegance, the salt of intelligence and modernity. Paris
is still the sweetness of life today, I found there a form of carelessness that I missed in my country. This artistic
outpouring carried me very early on through fashion, theater and music… Three worlds that go together so well and that I
was able to fully embrace as soon as I arrived.
Your latest album, Back to Colors, marks a break with the previous one, Indefinitely. What has changed in
your inspiration?
A big difference, indeed. Choice of the title as obvious, in resonance contrary to Indefinitely, my previous
album: a disc crossed by a melancholy in black and white pregnant... These songs corresponded to the state of mind of
the moment, to these years of retreat following a surgery that went wrong. Different atmospheres, of course, but
which follow each other like a journey.
