Following the loss of his job, Thierry was expelled of his apartment. Since, he found a new job, but not an accommodation. “Too expensive in Paris! Some owners asks, as guarantee, for five times the rent, it is impossible for me”. Thierry gains 2500 euros per month, wages however insufficient to find an apartment in Paris. To about fifty kilometers of Paris, the camp-site of the «Good reception» (Bon Accueil), at Bridge-Saint-Maxence, in the Oise department. Christian, Maryvonne and their children of 12 and 8 years live here since one year and half. Christian supervises carparks in Paris. His wife has been a worker for 20 years. Every morning, it awakes at 4h00 to go to work. The children go to the school by themselves, their mother awakes them by telephone. Fot their 30m2 accommodation, they pay 700 euros per month. They do not find an apartment fault of being able to advance a guarantee.
