Pierre Richard, at the heart of a scandal: “the communist who wants to stay far from the poor”?
It all started when the opening of a new City Carrefour was announced in the chic 6th arrondissement of Paris, near the Luxembourg garden. This news has put a few inhabitants in thought which fear that the convenience store is shadowing the small independent shops in the neighborhood and that it attracts a less “posh” clientele.
