"I'm talking about a time..."
As with Charles Aznavour's song, I'm talking to you about a time... a truly bygone time, that of the "black hussars of the Republic", as the schoolteachers who advanced popular instruction and secularism were nicknamed!
A time of school smocks, of wood stove in the middle of the classroom, of inkwells stained with blue ink, of big colored wall maps, of penholders...
I'm not going to tell you more... it's this old-fashioned world that you will rediscover by visiting, by appointment, this little "school museum", created on the occasion of the centenary of the Ferry laws, now installed in the Four Pillars heritage library.
