While the architecture is intended to be humble and local, the Louvre attracts international giants... (and, on October 19, burglars).

__

In October 2025, the theme of the National Architecture Days was the ordinary: a celebration of modest practices, reuse, and everyday skills. At the same time, the international competition for the new entrance to the Louvre announced its results: five foreign agencies were selected, with no French firms among the frontrunners. Christophe Leray's article in Chroniques d'Architecture, “Should we burn down the Louvre?”, dated October 14, 2025, anchors our reflection.


Between claimed frugality and globalized prestige, a divide is emerging—revealing a deeper malaise in the French architectural scene. In this episode, Anne-Charlotte Depondt questions this wide gap, combining cultural, political, and sensitive perspectives. A lucid, uncompromising episode, but also one deeply attached to the value of building and the intelligence of know-how.


And the news on October 19, after recording, makes the issue even more sensitive and our conclusion more urgent...
