The story of how it got here is unexpectedly moving. About thirty years ago, a Parisian musician and collector named Frédéric Baron started a project. He wanted to gather the words ""I love you"" in every language he could find. He began by asking his brother. Then his neighbours. Then he started knocking on the doors of embassies, linguistic institutes, and cultural centres across Paris. He wrote letters. He stopped strangers. Over the years, he collected more than a thousand versions of the phrase, in languages ranging from Navajo to Inuit to Bambara to Esperanto. A calligrapher named Claire Kito then selected the most visually striking scripts and inscribed them onto six hundred and twelve enamelled lava tiles, arranged across forty square metres of wall. Do you see those red splashes between the words? They represent pieces of a broken heart, symbolising a fragmented humanity that the wall is trying to put back together. Follow the map, which will take you to a square where modern art began.Read moreAbout this activity Free Cancellation - Cancel up to 2 hours in advance for a full refund Valid 365 days - Tour is valid for 1 year and can be used multiple times Language Options - English | French | German | Spanish | Italian | Dutch | Polish | Russian | Portuguese Duration - 1 hour and 30 minutes Moulin Rouge - Google Maps - Instructions with link to app and how to access the tour will be sent to your email post checkout - You can gain instant access to the tour by downloading the app and buying the tour on the app Download app for instant tour access Frequently asked questions How does a Tourific self-guided tour work?
