At a time when it is not a good thing to be different, here is a homage rendered, or rather a place dedicated , to all those “strange people” who come looking for a dream or to give themselves one.

Nomads, travellers, entertainers, utopians? In any case wildly in love with freedom, these “strange people shake the town up, discovering unsuspected spaces of freedom thanks to their temporary and flaming architecture.

These strange travellers are amazing in their cheeky liberty and their critical regard is expressed with beauty and poetry.
