Marianne Guély
It was during her training in industrial design at ENSAAMA Olivier de Serres, where she graduated in 1989, that Marianne Guély discovered and tamed paper, which would become the signature material for her creations.

Jules Perrigot, inventor of the highway code…
Jules Perrigot was born on 3 November 1861 in Vimoutiers in Normandy.
Following the deaths of his parents and his elder sister, he decided to leave his native region and move to Paris, where he made many friends and met his future wife. Claire was the daughter of Léon Masure, director and owner of Papeteries d’Arches, who lost his life in a fire in 1897. The pair married on 11 February 1888 in Arches, and the paper mill was Claire’s dowry.
27e Festival International du Film Fantastique de Gérardmer
In 1994, the Festival du Film Fantastique de Gérardmer picked up the torch dropped by the Festival International du Film Fantastique d’Avoriaz.

In 2009 the Festival changed its name to “Festival International du Film Fantastique de Gérardmer”.
