Topologie algébrique, chapter III, § 2. Homotopie et chemins

Soit X a topological space locally connected by arcs and let xx be a point of X. The mapping c↦c(1)c\mapsto c(1) of Λx(X)\Lambda_x(X) into X is open.

According to the proposition, the mapping φ:Λ(X)→X×X\varphi : \Lambda (X)\rightarrow X\times X defined by φ(c)=(c(0),c(1))\varphi (c) = (c(0), c(1)) is open and one has Λx(X)=φ−1({x}×X)\Lambda_x(X) =\overset{-1}{\varphi}(\{x\} \times X). Consequently, the mapping Λx(X)→{x}×X\Lambda_x(X)\rightarrow \{x\} \times X deduced from φ\varphi is open (TG, I, p. 30, prop. 2), as is its composite with the second projection pr2_2.

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
