In Tunis, a group of friends walked through the city, recalling memories of people and places from their past.

They remembered Adriana and Paola Designi, Sarfati the jeweller, artist Bellagha, and bookseller Soufiane, among others. Their walk took them from Sidi Mahrez to Zitouna, Dar Lasram to Dar Monastiri, and from the Kasbah to Bab Bhar, triggering recollections of local characters and businesses.

The friends shared memories of Jacques Casubolo’s mechanical workshop, Madame Giudice at the Italian Circle, Madame Garcia’s escalopes at Paradiso, and the Designi family’s early radiologist. They also remembered enjoying lemon drinks at Bébert’s and crunchy sweets at Nathan’s, while walking the streets of Tunis including Massicault, Bordeaux, and Jean le Vacher. The women often shared these memories together, stringing them together as they walked.

The group's journey through Tunis served as a way to revisit and celebrate shared experiences and the city’s history.
