Before leaving the Pavillon Janvier, Nico went to see the archivist. Her office smelled of fresh paint. The finish on the floor looked just-done.

“Could you tell me who photographed Samuel Cassian’s banquet thirty years ago?”

“I should have that information somewhere.”

The archivist opened a drawer in her bookcase, took several folders out, selected one, and set it on a table.

“Damien Forest, a photographer for Reuters news service,” she said.

“Thank you. How long have you been working here?”

“For quite some time now. I was hired to maintain the files during the park’s construction. My job was supposed to end when the park opened, but I wound up with a long-term contract. The reactions when I tell people that I work at La Villette haven’t changed since the day I was hired. They always say, ‘Oh, the abattoirs’ and then, ‘Oh right, the Cité des Sciences.’ I hope this incident won’t damage the park’s reputation. We’ve been trying to change the preconceptions for so long now.”

Clearly, she was in love with the park she’d devoted so many years to.

“If you want to understand the place, I recommend Georges Franju’s Blood of the Beasts. It’s a documentary he made in 1948. It’s weird, but honest and actually moving.”

Nico made a mental note of it.
