\"Thank you Mrs Mayor, thank you Jean-Claude and Anne Lallement and thank you to the Municipal Council for agreeing to this name, apparently unanimously.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n At the same time, I learnt a new word: odonymy or the art of naming streets, avenues, alleys...<\/em><\/p>\n I can't begin to tell you how astonished I am - and that's putting it mildly - and how proud I am to have a driveway named after me, but above all in my own lifetime! It's only a short step from there to thinking that all I have to do now is die, but I don't intend to take that step any time soon.<\/em><\/p>\n I'm particularly flattered that my pathway leads to the furniture college in Saint-Quentin, where the future generation of craftsmen are trained. As proof, Emma Valentini, a former pupil of the school, joined the workshop over a month ago. The circle is complete.<\/em><\/p>\n I would also like to thank my family and friends who have made the trip, those who have believed, more or less, in me for over 40 years as I have persisted in making straw marquetry a luxurious and prestigious product. For my part, I've always believed in it, and today's tribute probably proves me right.<\/em><\/p>\n I would also like to thank all the members of my workshop for their talent and patience in working with this beautiful material.<\/em><\/p>\n My thoughts are with Jean-Luc Rodot, who works hard in his field to supply me with this beautiful rye straw, because it's also thanks to him that this craft has grown so rapidly.<\/em><\/p>\n And finally, a thought for my two daughters, Cl\u00e9mentine and Pauline. I hope they are as proud of me as I am of them.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Lison de Caunes<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":2825,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"class_list":["post-2824","new","type-new","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lisondecaunes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/new\/2824","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lisondecaunes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/new"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lisondecaunes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/new"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lisondecaunes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2825"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lisondecaunes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2824"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
