"Toute sortie est une entrée quelque part ailleurs..."
In the words of the very prolific playwright and screenwriter, Tom Stoppard, "Every exit is an entry somewhere else..."
Stoppard has the distinction of being the first foreign playwright to have one of his works performed at the Comédie Française during his lifetime. His play, Arcadia, had been translated into French and performed in 1998 to a receptive Parisian audience. The Comédie Française was founded in 1680 by decree of Louis XIV.
The above exit sign shows the way out of one of my favorite places to walk for kilometers on end, l'Arboretum de Versailles-Chèvreloup.
