TO GO WITH AFP STORY IN FRENCH BY JULIE FRAYSSE
Persons, suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, attend a workshop with a nurse around a table with old shoolbooks, on July 21, 2011, in a yurt standing in the park of a retirement house in Aytré, western France. The retirement house’s director, Pascal Bidois, came to the idea of organizing therapeutic workshops four times a week in a place as protective and uncommun as a yurt, a felt-covered and wood-framed dwelling structure, to help patients recovering their memory and to soften the effects from neurodegenerative diseases.
