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