Comment

Antoine Alcadré was only 24 when he took over the Café de la Justice at 3, place de l'Hôtel de Ville in Esch-sur-Alzette [Place du Marché at the time]. At the same time, Antoine Alcadré and his wife Julie Bosseler became interested in the automobile market. As early as 1913, Antoine Alcadré is listed as an automobile dealer. In 1922, he abandoned the Café de la Justice to open a large garage a year later.
