Les courées

January 18, 1997 Report from Lille on the "courées," these housing projects built in the 19th century to house workers in the northern textile industry. Their elderly residents oppose the destruction of these small houses, which have become unsanitary and dilapidated. Testimony from Camille TIRLOY, 89, in the kitchen of the small courtyard house he has lived in for sixty years: "We want to die here, in our house." Interviews with Philippe MARCHAND, historian, and Bertrand VANNESTE, urban planning officer: "Some courées cannot be rehabilitated."
