(2024-05-07/09) I can't take it for granted that my relatives live exclusively in European Capitals of Culture. My cousin Jean-Jacques, the great-great-grandson of Abraham Fleischer, lives in Angoulême, the Capital of Comics, recognized by Unesco as a Creative City; not bad either! The International Comic Festival and the painted walls route have become landmarks of Angoulême. Perhaps the good weather also played a role, but I certainly felt very much at home in this city with its very morbid charm, even if it hasn't (yet) made it to the European Capital of Culture. Oh, did I mention that the bathroom window of my apartment looks out of Obelix's backside...?
