la dalle
disco malassis
On the Malassis slab, next to the buildings about to change, the young people's images and the memories of the seniors at Bagnolia.
The exhibition, on the concrete deck and around it, brings back places that have vanished or moved, such as the corner store on rue Pierre-et-Marie-Curie, the Suma or the Bergerie, right next to the buildings that are about to be demolished or renovated. The opening was a real meeting between generations.

le secours populaire
The Secours populaire had been here a long time. In 1970, it was already there. We often went to the Secours populaire to give accessories and belongings. A very good friend of ours works there, Lydia.
avant
There used to be a hairdresser here, a café-tobacconist, a driving school, Suma, which was a supermarket, a bookshop, a horse butcher, a butcher, a grocery, a tailor, a jeweler and a bank. Today, the pharmacy is what's left.

pêche d’or
It's the Jacqueline Chonavel school, which used to be the second part of the Bagnolet Bergerie, with a parcel point, the childminder and a nursery. It stayed with me because I watched the building work right up to the opening.
