Produced by photographer Denis Dailleux, this series of portraits dating from 1987 are the result of the photographer meeting “a band of happy suburbanites” in a train. Two months later Dailleux and the travellers meet again, this time at Persan-Beaumont Station (Val d'Oise). His involvement in their lives would span five years. The timeless power of his photographs combined with the engaging words of Abdellah Taïa make this book an important publication on the sensitive subject of the troubled suburbs.
