Abstract
This is the story of Jeannot based on a number of tragic events that predated his disease, a paranoid delirium shared by his older sister, their seclusion and the denial of their mother's death, after which the engraving of his room's wooden floor was realized and just before he died. This interview with the neuro-psychiatrist Guy Roux relates the discovery of this piece of work and the very first exhibitions in the psychiatric circles. The acquisition by the laboratory Bristol-Myers Squib triggered many cultural events with a broad media exposure so it was received with a great enthusiasm. The setting of the floorboard at hospital Sainte-Anne in Paris initiated by Pr Jean Pierre Olié was greeted by several comments of which some criticisms. Multiple novels and pieces of theatre were inspired by this story.
