In accordance with a tradition that dates back a century, some 400 families in Bourbonnais welcome in their midst a thousand mentally ill people, most of whom come from Parisian hospitals. “There seems to be no urgency at all to talk about these men and women; if they don’t disturb anybody, its because they are ignored, as are other ordinary tragedies which lurk in the shadows of our society. At times however, they leave a bitter taste.”
