Autolib’ is the first public service plan with electric vehicles to be developed in a large European metropolis. An innovation in urban travel that will transform our experience of cities.
December 5 there is a mini-revolution in the French capital: Paris is launching Autolib’ , an electronic car rental service. To try it, you simply have to hold a driving licence and subscribe at the stations. 3,000 cars will eventually be available in Paris and in 45 communes of Ile-de-France.
Our lifestyle is evolving. And transport is too. Autolib’ is a key player in innovation with its self-service electric cars. This world first will revolutionise your journeys. What will be the effects of this revolution? The city will seem more open and travel more fluid and serene with these clean and silent cars moving through the streets.

Māori, their treasures have a soul – video
THE EXHIBITION
From the 4th of October 2011 till the 22nd of January 2012
The musée du quai Branly presents Māori: Their treasures have a soul, featuring Māori culture through 250 pieces from the collections of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. This exhibition, never shown before outside New Zealand, is a testimony to a strong and living culture. It affirms a people’s will to master their own future by emphasising tino rangatiratanga: Māori selfdetermination and control over things Māori.
The exhibition presents a great range of artwork, including sculpture, adornment, daily and sacred objects, architectural elements, photographs, audiovisual documents, and so on. It highlights the links between taonga (ancestral Māori treasures) and contemporary art, shedding light on important issues and debates for Māori today.
The exhibition presents Māori culture as seen by Māori, free from Western views and biases. The heart of the exhibition features art that addresses the political, spiritual, and aesthetic developments that have shaped Māori culture.
