ZIG ZAG - Portes ouvertes des ateliers d’artistes de Gentilly - 2012

Of course my students are invited too... but don't come on Friday! Saturday or Sunday afternoon is fine!  By the way, the 57 bus stops in front of my door... (the "rue d'Arcueil" bus stop) otherwise it's 10 minutes from the back exit of the RER Gentilly (just after the Cité U).
