Pierre Richard: Good memories light up in my mind when I remember Baku

“Good memories light up in my mind when I remember Baku,” French actor Pierre Richard told journalists in Russia.

The star of French and world cinema shared memories of his visit to Baku, which took place many years ago and made “a lasting impression” on him.

“My most vivid impression of Baku, which I visited 20 years ago, was that it was still possible to buy caviar there. The man who was selling caviar just threw it in my bag as if it was cheap pate. I was absolutely amazed, knowing that in Paris, a tiny jar of caviar is worth a fortune, and my wife was eating caviar with tablespoons," he said.

“When people ask me about my impressions of the country, my thoughts always go back to the people that I met there,” Richard added.

Comedian Pierre Richard is certainly one of France's supreme farceurs in the classic tradition. Richard is considered by many, such as Louis de Funès and Gérard Depardieu, to be one of the greatest and most talented French comedians in the last 50 years. He is also a film director and occasional singer.
