Dr Vassaux was very appreciated by the "saint sannais" as are named peoples who lives in Saint Saens. Of coure he was a very attentionned doctor. But also very disintersed, that means that he often leaves money to his customers, in sort they can buy medecine which he prescrived.
More, Dr Vassaux, was a childhood fien of Henri Matisse, the well known painter.Actual owner is preparing a brochure with a lot of informations bout correspondances between the two friends, and also the story of Matisse paintings, which were in the house, untill Dr Vassaux died.
Curiously, Normandy celebrates thi syear the impressioniste movment, as Matisse was in a conflictual position with this one.
