As the host of this year’s Summer Olympics, France is hoping that the competitions and festivities will provide an opportunity for the country to capitalize on its rich culture. In his first cover for the magazine, the illustrator Paul Rogers presents beloved characters from the “Monsieur Hulot” movies, created by the French filmmaker and actor Jacques Tati, as an enduring embodiment of the country’s spirit. “To take my mind off the U.S. elections, I imagined, What if Monsieur Hulot brought the Olympic torch to Paris?,” Rogers said.
