Butternut Flowers


Behind the garden, near the old compost, we found those butternut plants, sprinkled with butternut flowers. I believe that those flowers illustrate the richness of the organic world: even the flowers can be turned in a delicious meal. Don’t hesitate to cook them in butternut-flower fritters and you will see. Text and photo by Eugénie

Small Wonders


Behind the imposing concrete walls of École des Ponts, life quietly unfolds in hidden corners. This young plant, with its soft green hue and delicate leaves, thrives unnoticed, a testament to nature’s resilience. While students and professors focus on grand engineering feats, these small wonders persist, reminding us of the often overlooked beauty that can flourish in even the most unexpected places. Life finds its way, pushing through, creating moments of serenity and growth amidst the hustle of academic pursuits. Photo and text by Emad
