He doesn&#8217;t like school. What he does like is to contemplate the beautiful, and to have friends &#8211; often charismatic, colorful, older characters &#8211; who answer (them) the questions that nag at him (Monsieur P\u00e9tillon, the pastry chef; Sonia, the florist; Peter, the art collector&#8230;). For Artus, looking at beauty means, for example, turning a slice of bread (butter + jam) into a real work of art, or being ecstatic at the changing colors in the sky. Not to forget, Artus also loves musicals (and at the top of the list&#8230;),       <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>The Bloomsbury Girl<\/em><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">which is showing in Paris&#8230;).
