POTIGNY
On one side, scree born from a titanic chaos or a diabolical throwing of stones; on the other, an empty, bare wall supporting a tomb balanced above the abyss. It is that of the actress Marie Joly. Here are intimately linked written and unwritten history! (The tomb is currently closed to the public).
