Évariste Galois in the métro…

This morning, while waiting for a very late métro, I took those pictures from the platform.

These posters were in Bourg-la-Reine, where Évariste Galois was born in 1811 and which now celebrates the 200th anniversary of his birth. There are other celebrations around, at IHP for instance.
