The council does not come from the first comer but from Laurent, a municipal policeman in Corbeil-Essonnes. With two colleagues, Adeline and Helder, he addresses an audience a little special, but very attentive and enthusiastic: about fifteen people with mental disabilities are listening for this first self-defense course. They are residents of the Maison du Coudray et des Papillons Blancs, in Corbeil-Essonnes, and the Maison des Belles Fontaines in Juvisy-sur-Orge (Essonne).
