Paul Ricard

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.
