While the Zône non aedificandi (non constructible space) was supposed not to accommodate inhabitants, it was populated and participated in the population growth of the municipalities bordering the capital. Starting from the case of Pré-Saint-Gervais, Isabelle Backouche evokes the life of zoniers and their disappearance in the 20th century.

Built in 1800 to be the resort of an English family, the building was initially surrounded by a huge park and then acquired by the municipal authorities in 1838\. After housing a school, a telegraph office, a library, and a party room, the building underwent major changes until recently.
