Description: Montreal, CANADA - EXPO 67 French ( France ) Pavilion - Quebec: The French pavilion's large concrete and steel structure was wrapped in a shimmering row of tall aluminum fins. Inside its eight levels of technological and artistic displays converged towards a central well where the "polytope", an electronic light display, sent flickering flashed of color racing up and down steel cables to the sound of ultra-modern music. An on its rooftop terrace, which offered exceptional views of the entire Exhibition, were Niki de Sainte-Phalle's colored sculptures. The theme of the French pavilion was Tradition and Invention. In the three levels above the ground floor, the country showed the extent of their progress in technology and science. There were exhibits of atomic reactors, new techniques for deep-sea oil prospecting, desalinization of water, tidal power experiments along the Rance estuary, the largest linear-power molecular laser that could melt glass, and a model of the bathysphere "Archimede". If the French manufactured something, did research in a field, or planned future technological projects, they overwhelmed the visitor with their technical skills. They had a television studio where programs where taped using the SECAM process and shown on French color TV. The pictures were definitely sharper than American television.
