ACADEMIE FRANCAISE, VOYAGE AU PAYS DES IMMORTELS

With a touch of self-mockery, journalist and documentary-maker Serge Moati admits his dream of being admitted to the Académie Française. Not (yet) a member, he takes his camera to visit Quai Conti, a building dating back nearly four centuries. History, rites, customs, traditions and codes: the Académiciens reveal their secrets.
