Gratte-papier, by Guillaume Martinez
A day like any other in the Parisian metro – or maybe not? A young man sits quietly reading his book. A young woman is seated next to him. They have nothing in common, nor do they know each other in the slightest. In spite of this, something quiet unexpected occurs between them. In full view of all the other passengers. And yet, none of the other travellers seem to notice.

Marcel !, by Jean Achache
While looking at Marcel Duchamp’s ready-mades at the George Pompidou Center in Paris, Zack and Seb realize that the bottle holder gathering dust in their parents’ cellar is a spitting image of a piece by the great artist. They then try to sell the object to a gallery, learning a lesson about art and stirring up a bit of a ruckus in the process.
