Almost all of this episode of the Carnets filmés, with the evocative title, Tout est Brisé is devoted to the misdeeds of the storm of 26 December 1999 on the Bois de Vincennes, whose forest extends at the foot of my building. For several months, I was the cinematographic witness of this disaster which brought down more than half of the 130,000 trees in the Bois.
