How many were in the streets of the city center and at the Old Port to greet the passage of the double-decker bus on top of which the heroes of Marseille presented them with the magnificent European Cup snatched from Leinster in the last seconds? 20,000 like Saturday night? Much more. Doubtless double. 50,000 according to the town hall of La Rochelle.
It was in the midst of a compact and joyful crowd that Grégory Alldritt and his partners slowly advanced. Between songs and howled pride. For an unforgettable moment of communion and madness for the yellow and black people.
