ack at Écrouves prison for a commemorative visit marking the completion of a heritage preservation project carried out alongside INRAP.
This video reveals drawings, names and inscriptions left in the 1920s by migrant workers, particularly from Poland. The wall sections bearing these traces were carefully removed for conservation.
