Originally from Pakistan, Ali Akbar arrived in France in 1973 and started selling newspapers, becoming an iconic figure in the Latin Quarter. At 73, he continues to combine his passion for paper with his humor, creating connections with customers. The distinction he will receive in September highlights his contribution to France's cultural heritage, even in the digital age. Akbar says he will continue to sell newspapers not for the money, but for the love of his craft.
