[Spirit and madness. The Maison Blanche at Montmartre].

Dr Prost's psychiatric clinic was managed by the doctors Blanche senior and junior (Esprit and Emile), then by doctors Meuriot senior and junior during more than one century from Napoleon's First Empire until the end of the first world war (1914-1918). This clinic acquired a sound reputation and celebrity thanks to the use of new psychiatric methods and a practice open to all artists and literary elite at that time, with whom the successive owners kept friendly relationships.
