La semaine dernière, j'ai retrouvé mes amis Julien et Katie à Remoulins dans le Gard (Languedoc).

Le petit village de Saint-Bonnet, dans le Gard, mais on sent l'ambiance provençale : platanes, fontaine, vieux sur leur banc...

Thursday Throwback... Kiosque a Journaux (Newsstands)

We owed the newsstands to Baron Haussmann (who was also in charge of transforming the old medieval Paris into what we know today as the "Haussmannian" buildings built along the wide avenues opening up Paris). French architect Gabriel Davioud was commissioned to design small, elegant pavilions. It was on the Grands Boulevards that the first kiosk was built (on August 15, 1857), responding to the desire to gentrify one of Paris's greatest boulevard. In a minor revolution, the new kiosks, equipped with a lighting system, now lit up the public boulevards at night! But just two years later, these pretty, innovative designs were replaced by others deemed even more beautiful. By 1859, the new Parisian kiosks were even more imposing: taller, they were surrounded by friezes and topped by domes of zinc scales and a spire. By the end of the 19th century, the style and practicality of these kiosks, with their awning and display, gradually increased to 340 by the 1880s.

Today, there are around 360 newsagents in Paris, slightly more than in 1880. But it hasn't always been easy. In 2004, for example, there were just 266 newsagents left in the capital, as newsagents went bankrupt or abandoned a business deemed too difficult and unprofitable. To stem this loss, Paris City Council decided to give newsagents a break on the licence fee they had been paying up until then, before authorizing them to diversify their products at the end of 2011, with a single requirement for newsagents: that the press represent at least 2/3 of their business.

News-stands have almost all changed their appearance since 2018, as Paris City Hall launched a major operation to replace the classic model with brand-new, sleeker and more modern ones, a shelter made of recyclable metal, aluminum and glass, whose glass façade lets in natural light and is inspired by artists' studios and Parisian rooftops.
