Transfer, exchange, interface, intermodality, relay, system, node, change, hub... the terminology of modern transportation does not lack for words to describe the concept of interconnection. Yet this has not always been a given. Up until the 1930s in Paris, the Metro lines 12 and 4, which were run by different operators, crossed at Marcadet but there was no means of transferring from one line to the other!

Jean-Jacques Sempé
With humor, affection and nostalgia, Jean-Jacques Sempé has been sketching scenes from daily life for more than half a century. Born in Bordeaux in 1932, he began his career by placing his drawings in the regional press. The people he met did the rest: Chaval, Konk, and above all Goscinny with whom he began publishing the celebrated adventures of Nicholas in 1959. A prolific artist, Sempé produced press cartoons, magazine covers (notably for The New Yorker) and graphic novels including Monsieur Lambert. He also illustrated Catherine Certitude, the famed children's book by Patrick Modiano.
