Saturday noon at Niort

Apr 27, 2020, 09:12 AM

Niort, France lockdown sound recorded by Morgan Le Bot.

"We live in a small town in the west of France. For the moment, our region has been little affected by the pandemic. We are architects and work at home. In recent days I realize that I have more and more need to leave the door open on the street. 

"Everything is quiet, birds, a few rare walkers and the open windows of the neighbours. It's noon, everyone is going to have lunch outside in their garden behind their wall... Hopefully we will invent more convivial streets after all that."
