Rather incongruously the Monument to Peace is at one end of the Champ de Mars and right in front of the Ecole Militaire. Actually I suppose that's the best place for it.
Once I knew that this wasn't just a shop window with "peace" etched in many languages on it, I kind of thought that peace should be transparent and honest. Coming out of the mouths of politicians and corporate BS-meisters, the glass would quickly become etched with fog, then obliterated with lies.
Speedway, you're right: when a politician mentions peace you know the planes and tanks are already on their way. I like that this message faces the military school.
Lucio, Parisian vandals have too much class to deface such a message.
The first time I was there I didn't realise that anyone could record messages, Ms.M. Next time I shall leave one.

Snap (I took mine in January, 2010)! Great minds. Yadda yadda yadda. :-)
The very best minds, Lucio.
Paris reflecting on the world at her doorstep. Peace. Peace.

Vandals seem to have left this ode to peace in, well, peace. I hope that's still the case.
Like the way you composed this. Did you leave a message?
