Giant totem planted above the city,
You capture the light of the sky of Provence,
Light that you shine on the thousand-year-old stones of the city but
Are you a pure diamond or,
A dented tin can?
Madam, I like your ambiguity, which reflects that of our time
You will be the artistic beacon of this region.
BS
Sphinx, Lighthouse of Alexandria, Parthenon, Angkor,
Colosseum, Pont du Gard and you, a hundred cathedrals.
And you, castles, O architectural beauties,
O Louvre and Taj Mahal, Luma, others...
André Bonafos
