De Gaulle, visiting on the Tour route or as a spectator in the stands of a football match from where he returns the ball to a player, is the delight of the gazettes, not only sports… Chirac, subjugated by the “gods sumo”, will also reveal his appetite for primitive arts whose heritage he will honor by dedicating a museum to them.
