A Groin of Culture

Don't you have 100 potatoes?
In the land of potatoes, Bonnotte is the most popular. Only 100 tonnes of this Noirmoutier variety are produced per year. The first harvests of the tuber are often sold at auction; in 1996 an individual bought a package of 5 kilos for 15,000 euros. Name of a little Pig!

The five strangers?
Did you know that the famous trio was at the beginning of their formation five comedians?
Indeed, the comedians Smain and Seymour Brussel were also part of the small troupe. They met at the Théâtre de Bouvard, the equivalent of the Jamel Comedy Club at the time.
