The latest incarnation of modernity: the railway station of the middle of nowhere.
Valences’ high-speed train station is away from the town. Everything there is "functional". From the enormous car park to the platforms, nothing inspires you to take a stroll. It is a through the traveller’s disappearance had been programmed.
The murmur of soft voices over the loudspeakers, the screens, the staff’s automated gestures. In the gigantic ice-palace, only the window cleaner comes and goes with his trolley...
Here, everything is under control.
