Tabacs d’orient. Voyages Archaeologists have been depicted inJacques Rda takes us in search of a packet of Old Holborn in a Paris bathed in the colors of the Orient: a stroll through the 20th arrondissement of tobacconists once Auvergne and now Manchurian, facing the black and gold storefronts of Koranic bookstores, or among shoemakers and bazaars whose signs are labeled in ideograms. Here, under thick plumes of smoke, is a vision of Paris more authentic and above all more amusing than the one usually served up.
