There was a great turn-out for the ICB visit to the home of Professeur Demons near the Jardin Public in Bordeaux. Donated to the city in the 1920’s by the Professeur’s widow, the most historically interesting rooms have been kept untouched, offering a fascinating view of Bordeaux’s bourgeois lifestyle as far back as the mid-to-late 19th century.
