Further details

« La porte au fond avec la femme encastré c’est l’image exacte du bordel (avec son numéro exact) qui se trouvait derrière l’Ecole Militaire. La phrase du titre est celle que j’ai lue lors d’un repos à Castres pendant la guerre 14-18 : le patron du bordel l’avait inscrite sur la façade pour rassurer la troupe car il y avait une recrudescence de maladies vénériennes. »

‘The door in the background with the woman embedded in it is the exact image of the brothel (with its exact number) that used to be located behind the Ecole Militaire. The sentence in the title is one that I read during a rest in Castres during the 14-18 war: the owner of the brothel had written it on the façade to reassure the troops because there was an upsurge in venereal diseases'.
