Paul Ricard (9 July 1909 – 7 November 1997) was a French entrepreneur and founder of an eponymous company which merged in 1975 with its competitor Pernod to create Pernod Ricard.
In 1970 Ricard built the Circuit Paul Ricard, a race track near Marseille, France, that hosted 14 Formula One Grand Prix races between 1971 and 1990.
Ricard had a long association with French rugby league and in particular the club, Marseille, during the late 1940s/early 1950s.
Famous quotes containing the word paul:
“If men could menstruate ... clearly, menstruation would become an enviable, boast-worthy, masculine event: Men would brag about how long and how much.... Sanitary supplies would be federally funded and free. Of course, some men would still pay for the prestige of such commercial brands as Paul Newman Tampons, Muhammed Ali’s Rope-a-Dope Pads, John Wayne Maxi Pads, and Joe Namath Jock Shields—”For Those Light Bachelor Days.””
