Mr. Pokora has never hidden his attachment to his city of heart, Strasbourg. Seeing the disappearance of one of the greatest players in his influence in France and throughout the world is therefore heartbreaking for the artist, as for all those who knew him. Tributes multiplied after the disappearance of Pierre Bardet at the age of 71 on Friday September 16.
The town’s mayor, Jeanne Barseghian, spoke after the announcement: “He animated our streets, our businesses, he made our city center live, tirelessly and in all seasons, she wrote in a press release. During one of our last exchanges, when he presented to me his novelties for the Christmas lights, his eyes sparkled with desire and joy, imagining the thousands of amazed eyes that would soon land on the streets of our city. . Pierre Bardet had a passion for Strasbourg” Same opinion for the woman who preceded him, Fabienne Keller, who greeted “a true ambassador for merchants and the attractiveness of [la] town.” A character that the people of Strasbourg will not forget.
