Back in town #1

This charming 2010 Dargaud release opens the Back in Town series with a sun-drenched Parisian street scene: a man in a red shirt and a woman in white stroll side by side, gazing upward with quiet wonder, while a cheerful little girl beams at their feet — the whole family framed by a classic Métro entrance and the warm geometry of Haussmann-era buildings. Baraou and Hubesch bring an unhurried, line-art elegance to the cover that feels at once intimate and expansive, perfectly suited to the subtitle Gloire aux trottoirs! ("Glory to the Sidewalks!"). A lovely first volume for anyone drawn to slice-of-life storytelling rooted in the everyday poetry of city life.
