“Courir,” 128-page book published in France with photographs depicting Mardi Gras runs in rural Acadiana, will be on sale at a book launch held at Fred’s Lounge, 420 6th St. in Mamou, at 10:30 a.m. Saturday. Olivier Duport, co-founder of the FLEE Project, a Paris-based group that documents unique cultures worldwide, selected the photographs for the book from an extensive archive of photographs taken over the last 30 years by David Simpson, who in 2009 retired from LSU at Eunice, where he was public relations director and taught English. Alan Marzo, another FLEE co-founder, is joining Duport on the tour.
