Frédéric Baron - Creator of the Wall of Love

Frédéric Baron : Inventor of the Wall and collector of "I Love You".Since 1992 Frédéric Baron has collected more than 1,000 I Love Yous written in more than 300 languages and different dialects. It is in the streets of Paris that he made his tour of the world. In 1998 he wrote "The Book of I Love Yous" and distributed 50,000 free copies in France. A musician, he also recorded the magic phrase as spoken by most of the men, women and children he met. Author and composer, Frédéric Baron made his first record when he was 17 years of age, "The Key of the Sun". Since then he has written 40 love songs. In Montmartre he made his first appearances as a pianist at "Chez Ginette", "Au Tir Bouchon", and "Au Piano Bar", and it was there as well that he presented a song tour. Therefore, it is in Montmartre where he chose to create The Wall .
The Wall Of Love:

Venice has its Bridge of Sighs, Agra its Taj Mahal. Let us hope that Paris, the City of Light, is illuminated and radiant from its new jewel, LE MUR DES JE T'AIME (The Wall of I love Yous).

In a world marked by violence and dominated by individualism, walls, like frontiers, are usually made to divide and to separate people and to protect them from one another. On the contrary, The Wall is a link, a place of reconciliation, a mirror which reflects an image of love and peace.
