May 23 issue – Deep in rural France, the ancient village of Sarran (population: 300) boasts a strange museum. It’s a 4 million euro building, constructed at the expense of today’s French and European taxpayers, and very modern, to be sure.

Cannes Film Festival Opens
Indian actress Aishwarya Rai and US director Alexander Payne officially launched this year’s festival in a theatre packed with celebrities from around the world as well as film greats, with thousands of fans angling to get a glimpse outside.
“It’s an absolute pleasure and honour for me to declare the 58th Cannes film festival open,” said Ms Rai in English, after a spectacular gymnastics display by a member of Canadian troupe Cirque du Soleil.
Ms Rai, a Bollywood star who broke through into international cinema after starring in Bride and Prejudice, sat on the Cannes jury three years ago.
Mr Payne, known for directing the films About Schmidt and Sideways, repeated her declaration in French.

Concorde took off in 1969.
The A380, which is designed to carry 555 passengers but has room for more
than 800, lumbered down the runway before gathering speed and taking off from
Airbus headquarters near Toulouse in southern France.
