Figure 1.--As best we can figure out this was the company school at the Château Mouton in 1935. Wine aficianados will recognize the name. This was a wine estate near the village of Pauillac in the Médoc region, 50 km north-west of Bordeaux. It was originally known as Château Brane-Mouton specialising in red wine. Nathaniel de Rothschild renamed it Château Mouton Rothschild (1853).

This was a wine estate near the village of Pauillac in the Médoc region, 50 km north-west of Bordeaux. It was originally known as Château Brane-Mouton specialising in red wine. Nathaniel de Rothschild renamded it Château Mouton Rothschild (1853). They began bottling the harvest at the estate itself, rather than shipping the wine to merchants for bottling at other locations. The branch of the Rothschild family owning Mouton Rothschild are members of the Primum Familiae Vini. This looks to be a small school on the estate for the children of the workers (1935). Most of the children look very young, many seem to be kindergarteners. There are some older children, but not very many. The boys are wearing a mix of rompers, smocks, and short pants. We are not sure what happened to the estate durung the German occupation (1940-44). Presumably the NAZIs or Vichy collbiorators seized it because of the Jewish ownership.
