André Citroën was a soldier, a visionary, a prolific gambler and a staunch advocate for workers rights and welfare. Possibly above all he was the father of automotive marketing and promotion, bar none. A life irrevocably interwoven with the modern history of Paris and more archetypically French than a croissant. I like him. I like him a lot. I hope you will too.
