Le 25 mai 1720, le bateau le \u00ab\u00a0Grand-Saint-Antoine\u00a0\u00bb arrive \u00e0 Marseille. Conform\u00e9ment \u00e0 la loi, le capitaine Jean-Baptiste Chataud se rend au bureau de sant\u00e9 remettre les patentes, certificats destin\u00e9s \u00e0 faire conna\u00eetre l\u2019\u00e9tat sanitaire des villes o\u00f9 le vaisseau a fait escale. Selon les informations de ces patentes, la quarantaine du navire durera plus ou moins longtemps.<\/strong>
\nOn May 25, 1720, the boat \u00ab\u00a0Grand-Saint-Antoine\u00a0\u00bb arrives in Marseille. In accordance with the law, Captain Jean-Baptiste Chataud goes to the health office to hand over the patents, certificates intended to publicize the health status of the cities where the vessel stoped. According to the information in these patents, the quarantine of the ship will last more or less long.

En effet, la peste s\u00e9vit dans les pays du Proche-Orient et Marseille a d\u00e9j\u00e0 connu de terribles \u00e9pid\u00e9mies. Un cordon sanitaire a \u00e9t\u00e9 mis en place pour \u00e9viter que le monde d\u2019apr\u00e8s connaisse les malheurs du monde d\u2019avant.<\/strong>
\nIndeed, there are many cases of plague in the countries of the Middle East and Marseille has already experienced terrible epidemics. A sanitary cordon has been put in place to prevent the next world from experiencing the misfortunes of the world before.

On ne le saura jamais. Selon Charles Moure, les papiers remis par le capitaine ont \u00e9t\u00e9 falsifi\u00e9s, ratur\u00e9s. Il y a \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9cis\u00e9 que les huit d\u00e9c\u00e8s survenus r\u00e9cemment sur le \u00ab\u00a0Grand-Saint-Antoine\u00a0\u00bb sont dus \u00e0 des intoxications alimentaires. Mais ce mensonge ne figure peut-\u00eatre pas encore dans le document que Chataud pr\u00e9sente le 25 mai, sa duplicit\u00e9 n\u2019a pas pu \u00eatre prouv\u00e9e. Autrement dit c\u2019est peut-\u00eatre une autre personne qui a modifi\u00e9 les patentes.<\/strong>
\nWe’ll never know. According to Charles Moure, the papers given by the captain were falsified, crossed out. It was specified there that the eight deaths which occurred recently on the \u00ab\u00a0Grand-Saint-Antoine\u00a0\u00bb are due to food poisoning. But this lie may not yet appear in the document that Chataud presented on May 25, its duplicity could not be proven. In other words, it may have been another person who changed the patents.

Cependant, les intendants de sant\u00e9, les \u00e9chevins et m\u00eame le capitaine savent que les d\u00e9c\u00e8s r\u00e9cents sur le bateau ne sont pas dus \u00e0 des intoxications alimentaires mais \u00e0 des fi\u00e8vres pestilentielles.<\/strong>
\nHowever, the health stewards, the aldermen and even the captain know that the recent deaths on the boat are not due to food poisoning but to pestilential disease.

Dans le navire, la valeur de la cargaison de tissu (soie, coton) est tr\u00e8s \u00e9lev\u00e9e. Le capitaine Chataud et l\u2019\u00e9chevin Estelle en sont propri\u00e9taires pour une grande partie. La foire de Beaucaire doit avoir lieu en juillet, les n\u00e9gociants ont h\u00e2te de voir les marchandises quitter le navire.<\/strong>
\nIn the ship, the value of the cargo of fabric (silk, cotton) is very high. Captain Chataud and alderman Estelle own most of it. The Beaucaire fair is to take place in July, traders are eager to see the goods leave the ship.

Et certaines le quittent, d\u2019abord ill\u00e9galement, le jour m\u00eame de l\u2019arriv\u00e9e du bateau\u00a0; on profite du fait que le navire effectue sa quarantaine au pied de la ville, et non sur l\u2019\u00eele de Jarre o\u00f9 il aurait d\u00fb normalement se rendre. Pr\u00e9lever quelques bricoles pour les \u00e9couler en ville ne pr\u00e9sente pas de difficult\u00e9 particuli\u00e8re, et cela ressemble bien \u00e0 un un simple petit acte de d\u00e9linquance.<\/strong>
\nAnd some leave it, first illegally, the very day the boat arrives; they take advantage of the fact that the ship is in its quarantine at the foot of the city, and not on the island of Jarre where it should normally have gone. Collecting a few odds and ends for disposal in the city presents no particular difficulty, and it looks like a simple little act of delinquency.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Jo\u00ebl Coste insiste sur l\u2019antagonisme entre sant\u00e9 publique et int\u00e9r\u00eats commerciaux\u00a0: au m\u00e9pris des r\u00e8glements, on d\u00e9barque des marchandises, cette fois l\u00e9galement, le 29 mai, puis ce qui reste le 3 juin. Pourtant, les \u00e9v\u00e9nements se pr\u00e9cipitent. Mort d\u2019un matelot le 27 mai. Le 13 juin, mort du gardien de sant\u00e9 du vaisseau. Le 25 juin, mort d\u2019un mousse puis de plusieurs portefaix qui ont manipul\u00e9 les ballots de coton. Jo\u00ebl Coste parle d\u2019aveuglement collectif\u00a0: les gens pauvres consomment de mauvais aliments, voil\u00e0 de quoi sont morts les portefaix, telle est la version officielle.<\/strong>
\nJo\u00ebl Coste insists on the antagonism between public health and commercial interests: in disregard of the regulations, goods are landed, this time legally, on May 29, then what remains on June 3. However, events are rushing. The death of a sailor on May 27. June 13, death of the ship’s health guard. June 25, death of a moss and then of several porters who handled the cotton bales. Jo\u00ebl Coste talks about collective blindness: poor people eat bad food, that’s what porters died on, this is the official version.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(…) que ce n\u2019est point une peste venue du Levant et port\u00e9e dans le vaisseau qui en est arriv\u00e9 dans le port de Marseille ; que ce n\u2019est qu\u2019une fi\u00e8vre maligne caus\u00e9e par les mauvaises nourritures du petit peuple de Marseille, il n\u2019en faut pas davantage pour causer une maladie aussi consid\u00e9rable ; preuve de cela, c\u2019est qu\u2019il n\u2019y a eu jusqu\u2019ici que le bas peuple, qui a beaucoup souffert depuis six mois, qui en soit attaqu\u00e9 ; comme les crocheteurs, qui ont port\u00e9 les bales de marchandises du vaisseau pr\u00e9tendu infect\u00e9, se sont trouv\u00e9s de la masse de ce peuple mal nourri, il n\u2019est pas surprenant que ceux qui se sont trouv\u00e9s \u00e9chauff\u00e9s par le travail, qui ont su\u00e9 dans le transport des marchandises et qui se sont expos\u00e9s ensuite \u00e0 un air un peu plus froid, ayent \u00e9t\u00e9 attaqu\u00e9s les premiers.
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\n(…) it is not a plague from the Levant in the ship that arrived in the port of Marseille; it is only a malignant fever caused by the bad food of the small people of Marseilles, it is not necessary more to cause such a considerable disease; proof of this is that so far only the common people, who have suffered greatly for six months, have been attacked; as the pickers, who carried the bales of goods from the allegedly infected vessel, found themselves among the mass of this malnourished people, it is not surprising that those who found themselves overheated by work, who sweated in the transport of goods, which then exposed themselves to slightly colder air, were attacked first.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Les avis sont partag\u00e9s. Certains parlent de peste, les m\u00e9decins se disputent au lieu de chercher comment soigner les malades de plus en plus nombreux. Certains d\u2019entre eux exigent des salaires consid\u00e9rables. D\u2019autres donnent des conseils m\u00e9dicaux sans avoir approch\u00e9 un seul malade.<\/strong>
\nOpinions are divided. Some speak of the plague, doctors argue instead of trying to find a way to treat the increasing number of patients. Some of them demand considerable wages. Others give medical advice without having approached a single patient.

Si certains m\u00e9decins fuient la ville, d\u2019autres se d\u00e9vouent sans compter\u00a0; pendant l\u2019\u00e9pid\u00e9mie, il meurt vingt-cinq chirurgiens sur trente.<\/strong>

Il en est d\u2019autres \u00e0 qui on n\u2019a pas demand\u00e9 leur avis, les for\u00e7ats\u00a0: seulement cinq survivent au sale boulot. Ce sont eux qui sont charg\u00e9s de rassembler les morts dans des fosses communes o\u00f9 ils les couvrent de chaux vive. <\/strong>
\nIl y a une forte mortalit\u00e9 aussi parmi la centaine d\u2019adolescents embauch\u00e9s comme infirmiers.<\/strong>
\nMais j\u2019anticipe\u00a0!<\/strong>
\nThere are others who were not asked for their opinion, the convicts: only five survive the dirty work. They are responsible for gathering the dead in mass graves where they cover them with quicklime.<\/strong><\/span>
\nThere is also a high mortality among the hundred teenagers hired as nurses.<\/strong><\/span>
\nBut I anticipate!

Le 9 juillet, on commence \u00e0 parler de peste, mais uniquement entre officiels, il ne faut pas affoler la population. Dans la ville, on craint la famine, pendant que les \u00e9chevins soulignent les d\u00e9saccords des m\u00e9decins.<\/strong>

Ce que je trouve le plus incroyable, malgr\u00e9 mon exp\u00e9rience pr\u00e9sente de la gestion d\u2019une pand\u00e9mie, c\u2019est l\u2019ent\u00eatement avec lequel on a menti. Au point que certains n\u2019ont jamais admis qu\u2019il s\u2019agissait d\u2019une \u00e9pid\u00e9mie de peste\u00a0: \u00ab\u00a0les gens meurent de peur car ils croient avoir contract\u00e9 cette terrible maladie\u00a0\u00bb ose-t-on dire\u00a0!

Once the plague has been identified by several people, they continue to talk about \u00ab\u00a0the contagious disease of Marseille\u00a0\u00bb then later \u00ab\u00a0the contagious disease of Provence\u00a0\u00bb.

\nTrois si\u00e8cles exactement apr\u00e8s cette trag\u00e9die, il est tr\u00e8s instructif de faire le parall\u00e8le avec celle d\u2019aujourd\u2019hui.<\/strong>
\nQuand j\u2019\u00e9tais au lyc\u00e9e, le prof avait parfois un peu de retard\u00a0: les \u00e9l\u00e8ves, rassembl\u00e9s dans la classe, menaient alors grand tapage. Le premier d\u2019entre nous qui voyait appara\u00eetre l\u2019enseignant au bout du couloir lan\u00e7ait le cri d\u2019alerte, \u00ab\u00a0teuss teuss\u00a0\u00bb qui nous ramenait tous sagement \u00e0 nos places.<\/strong>
\nJ\u2019y pense quand je regarde une vid\u00e9o montrant des interventions polici\u00e8res, quant un flic s\u2019\u00e9crie\u00a0: \u00ab\u00a0Pas de violence\u00a0! On est film\u00e9s\u00a0!\u00a0\u00bb Je crois entendre\u00a0: \u00ab\u00a0Teuss teuss, on est film\u00e9s\u00a0!\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong>
\nCe qui n\u2019\u00e9tait pas le souci des soldats surveillant le cordon sanitaire en Provence.<\/strong>
\nExactly three centuries after this tragedy, it is very instructive to draw a parallel with that of today.<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhen I was in high school, the teacher was sometimes a little late: the students, gathered in the class, then led a lot of noise. The first of us who saw the teacher appear at the end of the corridor gave the warning cry, \u00ab\u00a0teuss teuss\u00a0\u00bb which wisely brought us all back to our places.<\/strong><\/span>
\nI think about it when I watch a video showing police interventions, when a cop shouts out: \u00ab\u00a0No violence! We are filmed!\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe soldiers monitoring the sanitary cordon in Provence did not care about the possible presence of witnesses!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Je laisse pour conclure la parole \u00e0 Charles Moure<\/a> (qui cite par ailleurs les travaux non moins remarquables de Raoul Bousquet<\/a>, Gaffarel et Duranty<\/a>)\u00a0:<\/strong>
\n\u00ab\u00a0Ce que l’on sait moins c’est que pendant deux ans Marseille, la Provence et les ports du Languedoc furent \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s ray\u00e9s de la carte du monde, c’est que les ports \u00e9trangers se virent interdits \u00e0 nos marins sous peine de mort, c’est que certains d’entre eux le rest\u00e8rent longtemps encore apr\u00e8s la cessation du fl\u00e9au. Sait-on que pour emp\u00eacher la contagion de s’\u00e9tendre dans le reste du pays le tiers de l’infanterie et le quart de la cavalerie fran\u00e7aise form\u00e8rent un cordon sanitaire autour des r\u00e9gions ravag\u00e9es? <\/strong><\/em>
\nToute personne convaincue d\u2019avoir franchi le cordon sanitaire en fraude risquait d’\u00eatre pass\u00e9e par les armes.\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong><\/em>
\nTo conclude, I leave the floor to Charles Moure<\/a> (who also quotes the no less remarkable works by Raoul Bousquet<\/a>, Gaffarel and Duranty<\/a>):<\/strong><\/span>
\n\u00ab\u00a0What is less known is that for two years Marseille, Provence and the ports of Languedoc were almost wiped off the map of the world, is that foreign ports were prohibited to our sailors under penalty death, is that some of them remained long after the cessation of the scourge. Do we know that to prevent the contagion from spreading to the rest of the country, a third of the infantry and a quarter of the French cavalry formed a sanitary cordon around the ravaged regions?<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
\nAnyone found to have smuggled in through the cordon risked being shot.\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
