Chers tous,
Despite the relatively small
number of participants, the screening of Notre-Dame On Fire was a great success
and received plaudits from the entire audience. This powerful movie, in which
everything is based on fact and nothing seems plausible, gripped us, moved us
and kept us on the edge of our seats until the striking destructive fire was
extinguished. I encourage you to read Davina and Barry's report on the film
(see page 5), and if you were unable to attend the screening, to borrow the
DVD, which is available to our members from our library corner.
If you are interested in the
Olympics and decide to follow them, you are bound to travel, because while
Paris has been chosen to host the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, in reality
39 venues will welcome athletes from around the world. As host city, Paris will
host the competitions at 26 Olympic and Paralympic venues representing 35
sports, with 8 other cities in the Île-de-France region hosting major sporting
facilities. The Château de Versailles has also transformed its gardens for the
equestrian, paraequestrian and pentathlon competitions. Two other towns will
host handball, shooting and football events, and the harbour of Marseille will
host all the sailing events, while the surfing competitions will take place in
Tahiti.
Before I say goodbye, do not miss
the extraordinary chance to celebrate this year’s Bastille Day event, it will not
be just another date on our event calendar, but a grand rendez-vous, with a
promise of a great evening of celebration! Promote the event amongst family and
friends, enrol, select your menu and pay your contribution by 23 June.
Looking forward to seeing you all
on the occasion of our French Wine Tasting event, Je vous dis A bientôt!
Sylvie
