CMP! - 2025 edition

The day began in the morning with a guided tour of the monument. The young participants discovered the four groups sculpted on the jambs of the Arc de Triomphe. The tour continued at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Flame of Remembrance, places of remembrance and remembrance. After passing through the museum, visitors enjoyed a panoramic view from the terrace.

The early afternoon was spent in a heritage area off-limits to the general public, the Salle des Palmes, where the Unknown Soldier lay for almost two months before his burial on 28 January 1921.

The session began with a presentation by the guest artist, focusing on the Arc de Triomphe and representations of war and peace in the arts - painting, photography and film. Then came the time for creation. Armed with scissors and glue, the young participants put together a work of their own, combining images of the monument and photographs carefully selected beforehand by the artist. Each participant produced an original A3 collage.

At the end of the day, the works were exhibited, and each participant was invited to present his or her work to the group, sharing his or her vision, choice of images and interpretation.

To extend the experience, everyone went home with their work and an invitation to CMP! 2025 invitation to return free of charge with two adults of their choice. On their next visit, they will have the opportunity to become guides to those around them, and in turn pass on what they have discovered.
