Dormitories

The dormitory of a girls' high school in the 16 arrondissement is open for an exhibit this summer. Hector Guimard, the architect of the dormitory, publicized his work by having postcards printed. This article in Libération also describes several Guimard buildings within walking distance of the exhibit.

There's another article about a dormitory in today's Libération. A vacant university residence in Cachan, a suburb of France, has been evacuated of its squatter residents, some illegal immigrants. The dormitory has the reputation of being the largest "squatt" in France, with reportedly "thousands" of residents. The sound clip included with the article is mostly the reactions of nearby students.
