Travel Passes, Tickets, and Prices If you are planning to use public transport during your in Paris, I'm strongly suggesting buying travel passes.

Currently, there are 7 tram lines in Paris. 2 more tram lines will be opened in 2020 and 2021. Most of the lines serve to the outskirts of Paris because of that tourist won't use them often.

Some of the RER lines can have different destinations. Never forget to check the screen about the last destinations. Sometimes you can think to take RER trains instead of metro lines because of their speed.

You find detailed information about Paris RER Lines from the map (Source). Buses of Paris Sometimes taking a bus can be the fastest way to get around in Paris, especially in short distances. If you are traveling around hours other than the rush hour taking a bus is a good way to get around. By this way, you can also see the real Paris rather than the underground walls and stones. There are also night buses in Paris called Noctilien. Noctilien runs from 00.30 to 07.00 every day with fewer intervals (10-15 minutes) at the weekends. You can see the N signs on the buses which means they are night buses.

Bus lines of Paris have very good coverage over the center (Source). Montmartre Funicular This uniques funicular line connects the foot with the summit of the Butte Montmartre where the Basilique du Sare Coeur and the Place du Tertre are located. The Montmartre Funicular line opened during the summer of 1990. Since the opening line renovated a couple of times. This automatic funicular line currently transports more than 2 million people every year. One journey with the funicular lasts only for 90 seconds but it is one of the things have to be experienced in Paris. Montmartre Funicular operates from 06.00 to 00.45 am. Please be aware that the ticket office the Montmartre Funicular closes at midnight. The entrance of the Montmartre Funicular is located very southwest of the Sacre-Coeur.

taking a cruise over the Seine River will be a great experience for you (Source). Paris City Bus Tours Just like any other major city in the world there are couple of city bus tours in Paris. There are multiple tours operating in Paris. The most famous three of them are OpenTour, Big Bus Paris and Foxity Sightseeing Tour. Bus tours generally run between 09.30 to 20.30. Bus Tour prices are quite expensive based on my experience. Because you can get 5 days of free passes for public transport at the same prices for Bus Tours which is around 35 Euros.

4 Days in Paris

Well, you know everything you need to know about the public transport system in Paris. Now, we can plan 4 days in Paris and how to spend it! There are a couple of things we focused on this planning post: Focused on Zone 1 and Zone 2 Spend 4 full days in Paris without go/from airport to the city center Already have accommodation in the city center Focused Must-see landmarks and historical places Not spent more than 3 hours on a place even if you need more At least 2 attraction per day First Day of the 4 Days in Paris If you are ready to spend your 4 days in Paris lets start it! We'are starting day 1 with a bus tour around the city to have knowledge about the layout of Paris, lifestyle, avenues, street and more. I think taking a bus tour is the best way to have an idea about a city. You will see almost all of the important sports in the city and feel the atmosphere. I'm writing the bus tour based on the Big Bus Paris Hop On Hop Off Tour but details are the same more or less between other tours. The red route tour is the most extensive line between all. It covers almost all of the most iconic landmarks and places in Paris. The tour starts at the Eiffel Tower and goes in turn, Champ de Mars, Opera Garnier, Louvre Museum, Pont Des Arts, Notre Dame, Musee D'Orsay, Champs-Elyses, Grand Palais and Trocadero.

You can hop on to the buses in front of the Eiffel Tower (Source). Take the Red Route The first bus will go at 09.15 from Eiffel Tower so you need to catch it. You can use the metro to go to the Eiffel Tower in the morning. Bir-Hakeim station of Metro Line 6 and Ecole Militaire station of Metro Line 8 are the closest ones to the Eiffel Tower. Another option to go to the Eiffel Tower is taking a RER C line and get off at the Champ de Mars - Tour Eiffel Station. Bus lines 42, 69, 72, 82 and 87 also passes very close to the Eiffel Tower. Red route operates with 5 to 15 minutes of the interval which allows you to get off every stop and spend some to take photos and look around. If you get off every stop at the tour you will probably spend around 4 to 5 hours to finish the tour and get back to the Eiffel. Now you know the layout of the Paris and places where will you visit in the next couple of days.

Each stop of the tour is a major touristic spot (Source). If you go to the Paris between 1st December and 13th January you can take a Paris Night Tour around the city with Christmas Lights. You can see Paris Christmas Night Tour route. Paris Night Tour or Christmas Tour has the same route with the Red Route but the commentary of the tour will focus on the Christmas lighting and Paris more. Both ordinary red route and Paris Night Tour prices are the same, 27 Euros.

Champ De Mars - Tour Eiffel Station of RER C Line (Source). Eat at the Quartier Latin You spend almost half of the day with the Big Bus Paris tour and probably get a little hungry :) There are two really good places to eat some local and French specialized cuisines, Monmartre and Quartier Latin. I think that you should eat these two places on two separate days. On the first day you can go to the Latin Quarter because it is the top place among the visitors of Paris. Also, you can find extremely cheap places to eat. You can take the RER C line from Eiffel Tower to go to the Saint-Michel Notre-Dame station where is the starting point of the Quartier Latin. From the station, you can walk through the district and find a place to eat. Notre-Dame Cathedral You can finish the day with this iconic landmark of Paris. Notre-Dame Cathedral is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and one of the oldest Gothic Cathedrals in the world and also the one the well-know all along with the world. It is not possible to get inside of the Notre-Dame Cathedral due to fire happened on 15-16 April 2019. Even though you can go there say pay your respect to this magnificent holy place of the Christian world. Notre-Dame Cathedral is only 5 minutes walk from the Saint-Michel Notre-Dame metro station where is also the RER Line C station. You can also visit the Maison Heloise et Abelard, Pont Saint-Louis, Bridge of the Archbishopric, Fondation Louis Lepine, Sainte Chapelle, Conciergerie and Pont Neuf here. You can spend a couple of more hours here before getting back to the hotel. I think that this will be enough for the first. You need an energy for the day 2 :)

Notre-Dame Cathedral severely damaged by the unfortunate fire (Source). Second Day of the 4 Days in Paris You can start with the Eiffel Tower on the 2nd day of your 4 days in Paris. You can read the Eiffel Tower post we published before to have extensive information about the tower. My first suggestion about visiting the Eiffel Tower, buy your tickets in advance to avoid long queues and gain time. You can also eat your lunch at the restaurant in the Eiffel Tower. You already know how to go to the Eiffel Tower, right?

Don't forget to buy your tickets in advance to avoid the queues (Source). There are different types of tickets to visit the Eiffel Tower. Generally, prices are separated based on if you want to go to the top or satisfied with the second floor. To have a full Eiffel Tower experience you need to pay 52 Euro. Generally, if you buy this ticket you need to spend up to 3 hours to have a full experience. Visiting Louvre Museum After spending your time until noon, now it is time to go to the Louvre Museum. This world-famous museum opened at the end of the 18th century (1793). Louvre Museum is also France's most renowned and visited museum. Every year, more than 8 million people visit the Louvre Museum. During years Louvre Museum became to hold more and more works of art. You can see the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, Liberty Leading the People by Eugène Delacroix, The Wedding at Cana by Paolo Veronese, Venus de Milo an ancient Greek statue, Seated Scribe an ancient Egyptian sculpture, Winged Victory of Samothrace a Hellenistic sculpture and also lots of great artifacts of the human history.

Buy your tickets for Louvre Museum in advance to avoid queues like Eiffel Tower (Source). Closest metro station to go to the Louvre Museum is Palais-Royal - Musee du Louvre station of metro line 1 and 7. Also Bus lines 21, 24, 27, 39, 48, 68, 69, 72, 81 and 95 are passed close to the museum. Like Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum has different types of tickets for its visitors. You can buy your tickets in advance online for 17 Euros per adult. There is also little expensive tour Skip the Line Louvre Museum Guided Tour for 59 Euros per adult. This tour will take around 3 hours to finish. Visiting Eiffel Tower and Louvre Museum will exhaust you and not need to visit another place for the 2nd day at your 4 days in Paris. Third Day of the 4 Days in Paris We will start the 3rd day of your 4 days in Paris by visiting the Montmartre. Basically, Montmartre is a hill with 130 meters of height. This place is one of the most colorful, unique and charming places in Paris. Montmartre was an independent commune just located very close to the Paris city center until 1860. But then it became the 18 districts of Paris. For visitors, Montmartre can be divided into two separate zones. One the near Place Pigalle with its numerous neon lights, cabarets, and sex-shops. The second is a bohemian face of the Montmartre located in the Place du Tertre at the top of the hill. You can reach to summit of the by taking 197 steps of stairs or taking the Montmartre Funicular. You can go to Montmartre by taking metro lines 2 and 12. There are multiple stops of these lines around the Montmartre.

The streets of Montmarte are very colorful (Source). Sacred Heart Basilica of Montmartre At the top of the Montmartre hill, there is a Sacred Heart Basilica of Montmartre (Sacre-Coeur). This place also knowns as a Basilique du Sacré-Coeur and one of the most important religious buildings in Paris. Sacre-Coeur also offers a great panoramic view of the city. This religious landmark constructed between 1875 and1914. Visitors can climb to the top of the dome. you can see important landmarks of Paris like Eiffel Tower and Arc du Triomphe. Luckily there is no entry fee for this magnificent place. You can also have your lunch at Montmartre. This neighborhood is just like the Latin Quarter to have good French cuisine.

Sacred Heart Basilica of Montmartre opens between 06.00 to 22.30 every day (Source). Arc de Triomphe Now, it is time to go to the emblematic symbol of Paris. Arc de Triomphe represents the numerous victories of the French army under Napoleon. To go to the Arc de Triomphe from Montmartre you can take the metro line 2 and get off the Ternes station where is very close to the Arc de Triomphe. This unique landmark of Paris is 50 meters tall, 45 meters wide and 22 meters deep. Arc de Triomphe built by Napoleon in 1806 at the end of the battle of Austerlitz and inaugurated by King Louis-Philippe.

To get to the base of the Arc du Triomphe you will have to take the underpass on the Champs-Élysées (Source). This unique building witnessed Paris history during The Great War (WWI) and World War II. Parades after the world wars held here in 1919 and 1944. If you want to base the Arc de Triomphe always use the underpasses! Because there no traffic light over the roundabout and it will be extremely dangerous to pass it. If you want to get up the observation deck of the landmark you need to pay for it. It may not be worth it if you get up to the Eiffel Tower, so don't spend extra money here. But if you still want to go to the top you have to pay 12 Euros per adult. 1 hour will be enough to experience the Arc de Triomphe. Champs-Élysées Before finishing the 3rd day of your 4 days in Paris it is time to see the Champs-Élysées. You can just enter the Champs-Élysées from Arc de Triomphe. I'm suggesting to take this walk until you reach the Place de la Concorde where is very close to the Louvre Museum. Champs-Élysées is the most beautiful, famous and well-known avenue in Paris. Champs-Élysées is also the world's most famous commercial street. Taking a walk like this will certainly have a calming effect (Source). During your walk through the Champs-Élysées, you can also visit the Palais de la Découverte (Discovery Palace), the Petit Palais and the Grand Palais. You can also have your lunch at one of the restaurants over the Champs-Élysées. This walk will take around 2 to 3 hours if you visit the imposing building over the avenue. There are multiple metro stations over the avenue if you want to go back to your hotel or elsewhere. I think this can be the last attraction of your 3rd day in your 4 days in Paris. Fourth Day of the 4 Days in Paris Welcome to your last day in your 4 days in Paris. For the last day, it is time to visit the Palace of Versailles and The Pantheon. The Pantheon was the first major monument of Paris. It was built long before the other major ones like Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe. This unique building constructed between 1764 and 1790 and designed by Jean Baptiste Rondelet. During the 19th century, The Pantheon used as a religious building. The building can be divided into two sections. The first one is the interior of the mausoleum where you experience the size and decoration of The Pantheon. The second part of the building is the crypt. The crypt contains the iconic French citizens like as Voltaire, Rousseau, Victor Hugo, Marie Curie, Louis Braille, Jean Monnet, and Alejandro Dumas. Also, don't forget to take look to the statue of Jean Jack Rousseau just outside of the Pantheon.

Inside of the Pantheon is breath-taking (Source). Incredible Pantheon The Pantheon is open except the 1st of January from 10.00 to 18.00 pm, from 1st April to 30th September to 18.30. There are multiple ways to go to The pantheon by using public transport. You need to take the metro line 10 and get off at the Cardinal Lemoine station. Also, the Luxembourg station of RER B line is very close to the Pantheon. If you want to use the buses of Paris you need to take one of the buses of lines 21, 27, 38, 82, 84, 85 or 89. Ticket prices of the Pantheon for one adult is 9 Euros. Palace of Versailles Before finishing the 4 days in Paris, the Palace of Versailles is the true ending spot. To go to the Palace of Versailles from The Pantheon you need to take the RER C line. Even with RER C line, it will take around an hour to reach the palace. Visiting the Palace of Versailles will take all day but you can spend the rest of the day after the Pantheon. The Palace of Versailles brings together the history and culture of the French nation into one. Because of its unique properties, the Palace of Versailles is one of the most popular destinations of Paris.

The Palace of Versailles declared as one of the World Heritage Site by UNESCO (Source). You can discover the vast number of decorated halls and rooms of the palace during the visit. The must-see parts of the Versailles Palace are the Grand Apartments of the King, King and Queens Bedchamber and Hall of Mirrors. The ticket price for one adult to visit the Palace of Versailles is 18 Euros. There is also free entry change on the first Sunday of each month between November and March.

27 March 2000 Stravinsky fountains, Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower with L’AN 2000

lundi le 27 mars 2000

Bonjour mesdames et messieurs! Did you enjoy the journey to Geneva from yesterday? Sorry that it was so short. The reason I went is because I wanted to go on Sunday the 16th August 1998 to Geneva instead of Lyon. But this time I had the chance to go to Geneva, regardless of how long the train ride would be. And it would not necessarily by my last visit at all. I returned in September 2000, April 2001, November 2002, August 2003 for the Lake Parade, August 2004, February 2012 and most recently December 2016. Each time a different part of Geneva and environs, but the two places I always visited in Geneva were the l'Horologe Fleurie (flower clock) and the Jet d'Eau (big water spout on Lake Geneva). Well I am glad to have gone the first time to see it.

Now we are back in Paris, and the 27th March 2000 is the first workday of the week, and the first weekday using GMT+2 timing for that year. I had some places I wanted to visit. These included the Centre Georges Pompidou, Stravinsky fountains, Notre Dame, the Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, Eiffel Tower, the Esplanade du Trocadéro for a wider view of the Eiffel Tower, Champs Elysées, Neuilly and to the Grande Arche de La Défense though I would not go to the top until Tuesday the 28th. Then I would make a counterclockwise journey with the T2, the M10 and the M8 back to the AIJ and end the day there.

After breakfast, I took the M8 from Ledru Rollin to République, changed to the M11 and went to Place des Fêtes to connect with the M7bis. What is special about the 7bis line? It was originally a branch off the M7 in the northeast part of Paris, kind of towards Lilas, and south of Porte de Pantin. It runs in a counterclockwise direction from Botzaris, stopping at Place des Fêtes, Pré-Saint Gervais, and Danube, to come back at Botzaris and operate bidirectional to Louis Blanc with a direct connection to the M7. At 9:49 AM the M7Bis train, operated with the MF88 series, took me one stop to Pré-Saint Gervais. That station operates with only one platform open to the public.

Since I did not want to wait the extra ten minutes for the M7Bis to continue to Louis Blanc, I exited the station and looked around for the bus which would go to Porte de Pantin so I could catch the M5 south to Stalingrad, then take the M2 to Belleville and then the M11 to Rambuteau where the Centre Georges Pompidou and Stravinsky fountains were located. The water for the fountains was shut off. I have been back as recently as September 2011 and have seen them in action. In the summer they are very animated.

To get to Notre Dame, I would have to go to either Rambuteau for the M11 or Chatelet Les Halles to get the RER B and go just one stop. Chatelet Les Halles, as I mentioned, is a very large RER station, with three lines shared, namely the A, B and D. I only needed the B line to go one stop. It took about three minutes to reach Saint-Michel Notre-Dame. I had to exit on the right hand side. Then I had to go up an escalator to reach the RER C platform of the same station, then exit to the street. Notre Dame is on an island, sharing it with the Préfecture de Police on Quai du Marché Neuf. I think this was the first time I had managed to get video footage of it. I did something similar also in April 2008 and February 2009, but somehow not in September 2011.

The next sight to see was the Louvre. I did not plan to go inside, but rather just see the glass pyramid. I had to cross the Pont Notre Dame to Rue de Rivoli past Tour Saint Jacques. And then it was a matter of crossing Rue de l'Amiral de Coligny. Then I was able to see the big entry pyramid, and the big reflecting pond next to it. I walked then past Place du Carrousel to the bus stop to catch a bus westward along Quai Anatole France to Musée d'Orsay, which I did not go inside until at least April 2008. At Musée d'Orsay there was an RER connection to the C line for Champ de Mars, and the Eiffel Tower. The train took about seven minutes to reach Champ de Mars and it was a ten minute walk to the Eiffel Tower.

The Eiffel Tower was pretty much like what I remember from 1976 when I first visited as a child. I think back then I may have spent a few minutes on the Champ de Mars sort of southeast of the tower. I thought about going up to the third level of the tower, but I decided to wait until the next day for the La Défense Grande Arche. About 1 PM it was time to cross Quai Branly and the Pont d'Iena and try to catch the M6, mostly an aerial line using MP67 series, to Trocadéro, then Charles de Gaulle Étoile. Do you know the famous landmark at that stop? And the famous boulevard stemming from it? Well first I wanted to get a long distance view of the Eiffel Tower and its big LED banner. I remember from 1997 that it had a countdown of days until the year 2000. In 2000 it just simply said "L'AN 2000". I also remember during the summers of 1997 and 1998 that children were selling half liter bottles of water for 5 FF, around 80 Euro Cents.

When I took the M6 to Charles de Gaulle Étoile, the station was kind of in a curve as it was designed to have a quick turnaround. It is fairly simple to exit the station and go to where you want, either enter the Arc de Triomphe or head to the Champs Elysées. I wanted to go to the Virgin Megastore to see if they had any good music. I found a few CDs, MC Solaar "Paradisique", Véronique Sanson "Indestructible", Pascal Obispo "Soledad" as I already had "Superflu" and "Un jour comme aujourd'hui", and lastly Manau with "Panique Celtique" which has "La tribu de Dana". At the time I had not heard of Serge Gainsbourg, but would later in the year. And to annoy people I bought the CD single by Eiffel 65 "I'm blue, da ba dee", quite possibly the most annoying Italodance song in the world. Well that was my music taste back then.

After I left Virgin Megastore, I had to return to the AIJ. I took the M1 to Concorde, and changed to the M8 and went all the way to Ledru Rollin. The hostel rooms were open at 3 PM so I went to my room to swap out camera batteries and have a look at the afternoon scene on Rue Trousseau. About 4:45 PM I left the hostel to go see the La Defénse arch. I took M8 back to Concorde and changed to the M1 and took it to George V, just short of CDG*. There was one other record store I stopped at, and that was FNAC. I bought a few CDs, one of which Zazie "Zen" which had "Larsen". I also bought three comedy CDs, with contemporary parody songs in French.

The sun was still up at 7 PM. I was curious to see what Neuilly was like, along the M1. I took that line to Argentine and had a view of the Arc de Triomphe and La Défense, along Avenue de la Grande Armée. Then I took the M1 farther to La Défense via Porte Maillot and going under the summertime splash ponds at Espanade de La Défense. Currently the M1 ends at La Défense on a large central platform.

I had a look at the Grande Arche. This was built in the mid 1980s and completed in time for the 200th bicentennial of the French Revolution of July 1789. Most of the exterior was made of marble, rest of it glass. The marble sections were replaced with granite later. I wanted in September 2011 to visit the top but it was closed for the renovations (replacing marble with granite). Going to the top was a plan for Tuesday the 28th anyway. About 7:45 PM I went underground to the T2 and Transilien platforms, which are perpendicular to the RER A station platforms. The T2 makes an arc along the Seine to Issy Val de Seine, but I did not ride it all the way. Instead I rode it up to Parc de St Cloud thinking there would be an easy pedestrian connection to Boulogne de Saint-Cloud. This was not the case. I had to take a bus line 72 to the metro station to catch the M10. That took maybe five minutes.

The M10 in Boulogne up to Michel-Ange Molitor is very different from the station layouts of the rest of the RATP Metro. First, the Boulogne stations have central platforms, then run unidirectional for the Michel-Ange stations connected by the M9. After Mirabeau the M10 runs more conventionally, but at La Motte-Picquet Grenelle, there is a cross platform transfer from M10 to M8 so there is no need to go up and down stairs – quite unusual for the metro. I took the M8 the entire distance to Ledru Rollin, walked to the AIJ and went to bed.

Tuesday the 28th is going to cover even more territory. First I am going to see the Kremlin Bicêtre – do you think it will be quite an exciting event like seeing Red Square in Moscow? Tune in tomorrow to find out. Second I am going to ride the M3Bis and see possibly the last wooden escalator on the RATP metro. Then on to Montmartre and Pigalle before going northwest to St Denis, a bus ride north to Garges-Sarcelles, ride to La Défense with the RER D and then RER A, one more walk along Champs Elysées before heading back to the AIJ and that would be my last full day in Paris for 2000.

Bonne nuit et a la prochaîne!

Rirette Maitrejean (1887-1968). Nació el 14 de agosto de 1887 en Corrèze, Nueva Aquitania (Francia) y murió el 14 de junio de 1968 en Limeil-Brévannes, (Francia), cuyo verdadero nombre es Anna Henriette Estorges.

Fue una anarquista individualista francesa implicada en los acontecimientos de la Banda Bonnot[1]. Rirette Maitrejean también es conocida por haber sido, durante ocho años, compañera y esposa de Victor Serge.

Biografía.

Anna Henriette Estorges, nació el 14 de agosto de 1887 en Corrèze, Nueva Aquitania (Francia), un típico pueblo campesino francés. Cuando quedó huérfana a la edad de 16 años, dejó la escuela y renunció a su sueño de obtener un diploma como maestra debido a problemas económicos familiares.

En 1904, para “arreglarla”, su madre organizó un matrimonio clásico combinado, que ella, sin embargo, rechazó despectivamente. Despues decidió abandonar su ciudad natal y dirigirse a París Isla de Francia, (Fracia).

En la capital francesa descubre la dura vida de los sastres, pero también encuentra tiempo para seguir algunos cursos en la Sorbona, luego también en las “Universidades Populares” que nacieron y se desarrollaron rápidamente (la primera fue fundada por el anarquista Georges Deherme). Participa en las “conversaciones populares” animadas por Albert Libertad, anarchoindividualista y editor del periódico “L’Anarchie”, asistiendo también a las manifestaciones de los individualistas sobre el amor libre.

En 1906, después de dar a luz a dos niñas, Maud y Sarah, se casó con Louis Maîtrejean, un talabartero de profesión. A partir de ahora será conocido por todos con el nombre de Rirette Maitrejean .

Cuando su esposo fue sentenciado a 5 años de prisión por la cuestión del dinero falso en 1910, Rirette ya lo había dejado para irse a vivir con el profesor Maurice Vandamme (llamado Mauricius) en Champrosay, cerca de Draveil, (Francia).

El 30 de julio de 1908 Rirette participa en una manifestación de solidaridad con los trabajadores, en huelga desde el 1 de mayo, que está muy cargada por la policía. Al final habrá cuatro muertos y doscientos heridos, incluido el mismo Rirette (lesión grave en una pierna).

Al regresar a París, después de la muerte de Libertad tomó la dirección de “L’Anarchie” (con Mauricius) durante algunos meses de 1909, despues dejó el periódico y se fue a Túnez con Mauricius. Durante el viaje, cuando los dos están en Roma, Rirette es golpeada por la meningitis y se ve obligada a regresar a París. En la capital francesa se encuentra con el anarquista Victor Serge, recién llegado de Bélgica, con el que estará vinculado durante un período de ocho años.

En julio de 1911, junto con Serge, sucede a Lorulot en dirección del “L’Anarchie”, que mientras tanto había trasladado sus oficinas a Romainville, Isla de Francia, (Francia), donde encuentran una presencia grande y hostil de individualistas ilegales: Raymond Callemin, Octave Garnier, Edouard Carouy, René Valet, André Soudy, Elie Monnier, etc. Debido a los contrastes ideológicos y la persecución policial, muchos de ellos se ven obligados a huir a diferentes ciudades, incluidas las mismas Rirette y Victor.

Instalados de nuevo en París, en la rue Fessart 24, los dos logran llevar a cabo la publicación de su periódico . Durante este período, Rirette y Victor aprendieron las“hazañas” de la Banda de Bonnot, en la que interpretaron a muchos de los ilegalistas con quienes se habían opuesto a “L’Anarchie”. El 31 de enero de 1912, el periódico fue registrado por la policía, Victor y Rirette fueron arrestados después del descubrimiento de dos revólveres en la sede del periódico[2]. Ambos se someten a muchos interrogatorios policiales intensos dirigidos a empujarlos hacia la delación (que por supuesto será rechazada por los dos). Mientras tanto, la banda de Bonnot continuó su escalada ilegal compuesta principalmente por robos bancarios.

En febrero de 1913 comienza el juicio de La Banda Bonnot: Rirette y Victor están entre los acusados, pero en verdad el principal acusado es el pensamiento anarquista y el movimiento correspondiente. Al final, Rirette será absuelta, mientras que su compañero recibirá una sentencia de 5 años aunque sea inocente (su culpa fue que la vieran como una especie de ideólogo del grupo. Estas acusaciones efímeras ocultaron la verdad, que Serge fue castigado por rechazando la escritura a pesar de las profundas divisiones metodológicas existentes con los otros acusados)[3]. Años más tarde, así contará lo que sucedió durante el proceso:

“Traté de explicarle a la corte que si la anarquía les enseñaba a los hombres el rechazo de la moralidad convencional, no los incitaba a asesinar. Cada uno permaneció libre para determinarse a sí mismo de acuerdo con su conciencia … “

[4]

Finalmente libre, Rirette trabaja para «Le Matin» y su “Souvenirs d’anarchie” , en el que emerge una desilusión notable hacia el pensamiento anarquista-individualista.

Casada el 3 de agosto de 1915 con Victor cuando todavía está detenido, después de su liberación en enero de 1917 fue expulsado de Francia . Serge se dirige a Barcelona, Cataluña, (España) una ciudad que rebota con fermento revolucionario, pero el romance con Rirette, sin embargo, ha llegado a su fin y los dos deciden irse (Serge, decepcionado por la experiencia española, en este punto va a emigrar a Rusia bolchevique).

Rirette para seguir trabajando como tipógrafo primero y como corrector de prensa después, también comenzando en 1923 en el sindicato específico.

Durante los años treinta se instaló en Pré-St-Gervais, (Francia) coexistió con Maurice Merle (un sindicalista activo de las fábricas de Renault) y colaboró con «La Revue Anarchiste».

Desde 1959, y hasta que la ceguera le impidió continuar con cualquier actividad, también colaboró activamente en el editorial de “Liberté”, un periódico anarquista fundado por Louis Lecoin .

Rirette Maitrejean muere en Limeil-Brévannes, Francia , el 14 de junio de 1968 .

Notas.

↑ The Bonnot Band era una banda de ilegalistas anarquistas que operaba a principios del siglo XX en Francia y Bélgica , y Jules Bonnot era considerado el líder indiscutido.

↑ En En cualquier caso, sin remordimiento , la biografía ficticia de Jules Bonnot , Pino Cacucci (Edizioni Feltrinelli, página 266) plantea la hipótesis de que las dos armas fueron colocadas por la policía francesa con la intención de enmarcar ambas. Sin embargo, Victor Serge , en sus famosas Memorias de un revolucionario , no hace referencia a las tramas.
