Schools were invited to participate and their creations wereile showcased in the exhibition. The next day, a walking tour of the places of memory of exiled deserters in Paris took us around the 13th and 5th districts, even to a house to formerly hosted the exiled and which no longer exists, its house number having even been erased from the street.
