"Two years ago, we had a colonial exhibition in Marseille. It makes you wonder how far, sometimes, the public authorities go in the uselessness. And the people who assume that there is no longer a colonial exhibition in Marseilles, I won't go so far as to blame them, but I will pity them. Do you want to see Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia? Give me your arm and I'll take you to Rue des Chapeliers... [...] That's the scent of the Orient, the smell of an old candle.... "
