When the students of the University of Bordeaux Montaigne express themselves on the walls of the university…

This does not date from today… Ah, these young ones! More, what to think of these acts of expression? “Why not hang a free sign to avoid having to repaint the walls of the University of Bordeaux Montaigne?” wonders this itinerant food merchant on the forecourt, right in front.
