Paris Collector: “Parivelib” by Philippe Katerine

In “Parivélib”, Philippe Katerine follows the theatrical rule of three units: time, place, action. He visits Paris, at night, by Vélib, a funny rental bicycle available to Parisians for fifteen years. A bike in its infancy, all gray, too heavy, 22 and a half kilos, and often broken down.

2007, at the same time as the Vélib, the Parisians discover Philipe Katerine and “Louxor”a song that tells the story of a guy who watches the dancers in a former cinema, boulevard de Magenta, which has become a shady club. The Katerine style finds a wide audience“Louxor” will be followed by “I love your buttocks”, “The banana” and “Parivélib” which denounces a sleeping city, at night, where nothing much happens, everyone is at bedtime except Philippe Katerine on her bike dreaming of Jeannie Longo.

Conclusion, riding a Vélib in Paris is often a hassle, station with a shortage of bikes, fraud, vandalism, warped wheels, broken pedals, derailed derailleurs, but thanks to Philippe Katerine and a small hallucinogenic pill of 100 milligrams before getting on your Vélib, Paris turns into a gigantic “dream party” until the end of the night!
