After two weeks of exposure, the 25,000 m2 of fabric that wrapped the Arc de Triomphe according to the project of Christo and Jeanne-Claude, both died before its finalization, began to be withdrawn this Monday … under the amused gaze of Parisians and tourists, who did not fail to immortalize the moment with their smartphone.
Like spider-men, the rope access technicians rappelled down the facade of the monument at Place de l’Étoile to undo the huge silver tarpaulins that covered it. For two weeks the public came in large numbers, especially during the last weekend when the work was on the program of the Nuit Blanche 2021. The long-standing project, since it germinated in the minds of the artist couple in 1961, repeatedly rejected, has aroused the controversial. In a few days, everything will have been dismantled, recycled tarpaulins and ropes and as for the Pont Neuf, the packed Arc de Triomphe will only be a memory.

2. At the top of the Champs Elysées, tourists cross the avenue to immortalize the moment in selfie.
