“Ugh! It stinks! Jacquouille (The Visitors, Editor’s note) would not have said anything else if he had had to pass in front of 68 on the road from Thionville to Woippy. The smell that escapes from what was once a business mixes up and scents of carrion. No more noise comes from the Ibrahim supermarket whose activity has suddenly stopped. Only a pestilence recalls the good memories of the neighborhood.

Only the owner is very suspicious. “I don’t want any more unpaid bills,” says the lessor. “We did not receive any rent for two years”.
