A municipal shower
Municipal showers, also known as "bains-douches" : a French municipalities' public hygiene service, born at the end of the 19th century, intended for people who had no access to running water.
Over the years, this service has established itself both as a public health and social solidarity matter. Embodying this need for solidarity is the Paul Bert center, settled nowadays in the heart of Bordeaux.
Municipal showers, witnesses and actors of the 20th century's great social transformations, a documentary by Philippe Jamet broadcast on France 3 Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
