A route comprising several installations allowing visitors to discover the history of Latin writing and typography. Duration approximately 2 hours.
Description
At the entrance to the village, explore the world of writing and the origins of our alphabet by exploring a galaxy of 42 steles.
A few steps further, a library emerging from the ground houses the astonishing diversity of written media in history.
From there, you will discover the Vox table, an orientation table that allows you to find your way in the landscape of printed characters. Then stroll through the village following "Arthur's thread" and discover under your feet small inlaid paving stones that will lead you to the poetic universe of Arthur Raimbaud and his poem "Voyelles".
And finally, after having walked this path you will find yourself in front of the Chancellery, the founding place of the Rencontres de Lure. https://www.delure.org/
