The rural school in the documentary “Being and Having” threatened with closure. Two million spectators discovered the daily life of this small school in Puy-de-Dôme at the cinema in 2002.

Today the town of 280 people is trying to save the rural establishment. The National Education services must return their copy this Thursday, says the mayor of Saint-Étienne-sur-Usson, Lionel Chanimbaud. The demographics “are not at all losing momentum, contrary to what we are told,” he says.
