Between 1976 and 1980, the mayor and councillors recreated a historic city council at the Fêtes du Vieux Saint-Eustache. So they dressed in period costumes and used the minutes of a historic meeting as a script. Here, the wives of two municipal councillors are shown, each holding a copy of the minutes.
