Cyril Marcilhacy – The Village « burn magazine

Brann du Senon, former homeless, former biker, ex-con and eternal rebel, decided to change his life two years ago. After an eventful existence and several heart-attacks, he became a housing rights activist, bought a field in Fontainebleau forrest, 80 kilometers away from Paris, some old caravans he accommodated, and organized a community to host homeless people. Since then, men – and some women – thrown into the streets, come relax in this improvised village. The aim is to provide them with shelter and food to enable them to consider more serenely reintegration.
