G allery Centre Leclerc, Saturday, 14:30 ... What idea, too, to go hang out at Leclerc, Saturday at 14:30, you say? And I reply: that's not the question! No but. Because if we start like that we will not get out.
14.30, therefore, and a long tail for a good twenty meters at the entrance to the cultural space. Young, old, working-class people and most distinguished heads of teachers, heads of household ... Happy to be there, but calm and courteous. No horseplay or clashes. But what do they all so ... Opening a ticket for concert tickets? Not Hard Rock, apparently, no music for working girls: the audience is too varied ... A singer mat style Florent Pagny? Bof ... Not enough to justify such a tail, which grows every minute.
My curiosity is piqued to the quick sociological ... Which may well attract an audience as diverse? While I'm thinking hard, a brave boy dressed in gray, like real estate agent, a wireless microphone in hand, launched its ad:
"Caution! An exceptional event, Today, from 15h to 17h, the cultural space of the gallery Leclerc! Michel Drucker will be there in person a few minutes now, to autograph his latest book Reminds me . "
is this! I approach and I discovered in fact stacks of books piled on two tables. Difficult to assess the exact number of volumes. Hundreds without a doubt. 500, perhaps! They are crazy!
But when I try to estimate the number of people who are already quietly in line, I reached already almost a hundred ... And I guess they do not come hanging around there just to see the coil of the handsome Michael: they hope to leave with an autographed copy ...
2:40 p.m. ... Fans of the presenter continued to stick together ... And I am preparing to decamp. What! Without waiting Michel Drucker? Bin yes ... I do not already watch on TV, then real, sweaty, no makeup ...
Leaving the supermarket I think back to those stacks of books upright, on two tables. In two hours, that's obvious, they are almost settled ... I do not know what is the book by Michel Drucker. What I know, for cons is that if I take four of the last books I read and loved (Let Geographic Bertrand Redonnet, Ocean Islands without Patrick Corneau, of The Intruder Joaquim Hock and Choir contrary Michel The Host), I'm not even sure that the average sales of these four books approach the number of books sold on Saturday, two hours by Michel Drucker ...
And then, you say? Then nothing ... This just reinforces my idea in that you were right: we should never go shopping on a Saturday afternoon Leclerc ...
