Tapestry, Salle des Fetes, Residence Lucien Paye, Cite Internationale Universitaire de Paris, Paris, France

Detail of a tapestry in the Salle des Fetes, by Roger Bezombes, 1913-1994, in the Residence Lucien Paye, designed by Jean Vernon, Bruno Philippe and Albert Laprade, 1883-1978, and inaugurated 1949, in the Cite Internationale Universitaire de Paris, in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, France. Bezombes has designed huge tapestries made by Ateliers Hamot in Aubusson, with legendary characters, traditions, African animals and Madagascan flora. Originally the Overseas French Territories House, the building was later used to house students from Sub-Saharan African countries. Pierre Meauze sculpted the pillars at the entrance and Anna Quinquaud made the bas-reliefs on the facade. The CIUP or Cite U was founded in 1925 after the First World War by Andre Honnorat and Emile Deutsch de la Meurthe to create a place of cooperation and peace amongst students and researchers from around the world. It consists of 5,800 rooms in 40 residences, accepting another 12,000 student residents each year. Picture by Manuel Cohen.
