March 6, 2015, Paris, France. Post-it notes decorate the Paris’ apartment where Georges and Maryse Wolinski used to live. French Cartoonist Georges Wolinski (1934 –2015) wrote daily post-it notes to his wife Maryse Wolinski (1943, Algiers). Two month after the death of Georges Wolinski, the apartment is full of souvenirs and notes, attesting a half-century-long love relation: "I love you, I've eaten foie gras, soup, some cake, I read in “Adieu ma Jolie”. I think of you, until tomorrow darling. I kiss you, Maryse, darling. Georges."
