On This Site: Nothing Happened

Nothing happened here.

It’s long been a tradition in Paris to mount a plaque on a building where a noteworthy tenant – a war hero, major writer or other luminary – lived or died.

But recently, the tradition has taken a curious turn.

Take, for example, a plaque that appeared mysteriously on a facade in eastern Paris stating: “On April 17, 1967 – nothing happened here.”

Or one in the garment district paying homage to a former resident identified as, “Karima Bentiffa – civil servant.”
