PARIS (July 17) -- To compete at a home Olympics can be an unparalleled career high for the best of athletes
Even more so for the three French wrestlers
for whom the Games have come home — quite literally
Ameline DOUARRE and Mamadassa SYLLA check in at the Athletes Village in Seine Saint Denis and step on the mat at the picturesque venue in Champs de Mars
it’ll mark a culmination of their stories that took shape just a stone's throw away
Koumba LARROQUE (FRA) at Club Bagnolet Lutte 93
Indeed, there are many wrestling strongholds in France. Dijon, roughly 320 km from Paris, is one such hub that is home to many young stars. And quite a few of them train at France’s National Institute of Sport, Expertise, and Performance — commonly known as INSEP, a facility that’s also designated as the United World Wrestling Center.
the presence of wrestling stars who have honed their skills at Bagnolet
in the French team is steeped in symbolism
Not least because it is located close to the two Olympic landmark sites
the trio will also carry forward the commune’s century-long wrestling tradition
which also captures the growth of the sport between the two Olympics Paris has hosted

that the Association Sportive et Gymnasnique de Bagnolet reinvented and transformed itself into a sports club
kick-starting a revolution of sorts in the area not too far from Paris’s city center
Nothing nails down Bagnolet’s wrestling culture more than the fact that
according to a survey on the club’s website
it was only after an agreement was reached with the department of Seine Saint Denis — the heart of the Games where the Athletes Village is located — that the sport really took off and the Club Bagnolet Lutte 93 came into being in its current form in 2005
to Olympic gold medalist Steeve GUENOT and his bronze medal-winning brother Christophe as well as the latest sensation
the former U20 and U23 world champion Larroque – many French champions have spent key years of their development at the club
Douarre and Sylla have a chance to do something none of their predecessors could: compete in their own backyard
Mamadassa SYLLA (FRA) after his qualification for the 2024 Paris Games
finished fifth at the European Championships this year and will compete in the 67 kg Greco-Roman category
Douarre is a last-minute entrant to the draw after withdrawals in the 62 kg weight class
who was a second-choice wrestler for the qualification tournament in Baku
became the first wrestler from France to qualify in Grec-Roman since the 2012 London Games
the last time France won an Olympic medal in wrestling
a bronze by 2008 Beijing champion Steve GUENOT (FRA)
remains the flag-bearer for French wrestling at the Paris Olympics
and U23 world champion when she was 19 and a senior worlds silver medallist in the same year
An injury in the 2018 World Championship final meant she was away from the mat for almost a year
Larroque looked like a shadow of her past self as she could not manage any podium finishes
she was eliminated after the first round itself
Paris provides the 68kg wrestler a path to redemption
To finish among medals in front of her family and friends — and a short distance away from her club — would undoubtedly be an unparalleled high in Larroque’s career

The first thing you learn about cognac is that it's made from eau-de-vie (which literally translates to 'water of life')
And it's easy to see why such an evocative term could originate from the sleepy town that gave the spirit its name
found in the bucolic heart of the Gallic countryside where the Charente river—the languid body of water that gives this fertile region its life and which King François I dubbed "the most beautiful river in the kingdom"—wends its way through.
Sitting on the riverbank at the apex of the Charente's northward bulge above the town of Cognac is the Chateau de Bagnolet
the former family estate of the Hennessy family and the ancestral home of the brand today
Despite the monumental proportions of the house of Hennessy
which in 2022 sold a staggering 94.3 million bottles of cognac
two-storey form was inspired by the colonial estates of Louisiana
with a verandah that opens up onto seven acres of immaculately kept grounds and a white-washed exterior that gleams brilliantly amidst the picture-perfect verdancy of the Cognaçaise landscape
the chateau served as the private residence of the Hennessy family—a closed world of aristocratic luxury and witness to many an internecine squabble as the then-family-owned firm transitioned into a corporate entity with Moët
later merging with the Louis Vuitton behemoth—though today it serves as a sanctum to which the brand's most valued friends and customers are invited; a privileged glimpse into the very soul of the brand
And so it was on one fine day in late July that I pulled into the gravelled approach of the chateau's driveway
and was summarily ensconced in the lush world of Hennessy
the Chateau de Bagnolet isn't a chateau in the traditional sense of balustrades
yet you wouldn't know that after stepping inside: rich shades of burgundy adorn the walls
reflecting the deep hue of cognac; while family portraits and studies of prominent Hennessys—including Auguste and wife Claudine Irene d’Anthes
who were responsible for building the chateau—watch visitors from various states of repose

where the tasting committee meets every day (Photo courtesy of Hennessy)Photo 3 of 3 The Founder's Cellar stores Hennessy's oldest and most valuable eaux-de-vie (Photo courtesy of Hennessy) The dining room at the Chateau de Bagnolet (Photo courtesy of Hennessy)
But first, a sumptuous lunch on the verandah with Maurice Hennessy
the eight-generation descendant of founder Richard Hennessy
where we discover the inherent delight of service à la française
as white-gloved butlers present platter after silver platter laden with each course—there is bonito tartare with garden herb gazpacho
and grilled Cotinière sea bass with lemon butter and vegetable risotto—from which we pick our portion to pair with local wines
a dram of Hennessy XXO to cap off the formalities
to the maison's archives where we pore over the Hennessy family tree and the original drawing of the family crest
as well as inspect Hennessy bottle designs of all shapes and sizes dating back to the 19th century
Fun fact: the Hennessy crest features the boar prominently as the belief goes that it is the only animal to defend itself by going on the attack.
reverent voices that we've been allowed access to Hennessy's Holy of Holies: the Grand Tasting Room
bottle-lined space no bigger than a large bedroom where the Tasting Committee
comprised of seven of the most gifted sets of noses and tongues in the business
convene every morning at precisely 11am—when the palate is at its most neutral—to taste dozens of eaux-de-vie hailing from the four grand crus of Cognac
in the process selecting the best samples to blend into the various expressions sold under the Hennessy name
To call these people the most powerful in the world of cognac is no understatement: their judgement calls decide what is poured into the 70 million bottles the brand sells in an average year
Holding court over these sessions is master blender Renaud Fillioux de Gironde
who is the eighth generation to hold the title
in what has been a uniquely symbiotic relationship between the Fillioux and Hennessy clans dating back to the maison’s foundation in 1765
I would say [my job is] almost easy because most of the hard work has been done by my ancestors
They've done the work in making the selection [of eaux-de-vie]
my role is to make sure that I'm preparing for the future.”

On the opposite side of the Charente from the Hennessy headquarters
a sun-washed stone building holds in its belly the work of previous Fillioux blenders
in the form of several hundred oak casks of precious eaux-de-vie that have been maturing in the still
dark depths of the Founder’s Cellar for up to two centuries
The air here is scented with a sweetly acrid fragrance from the vapours of the high-proof spirit seeping through the wood of the casks
also known as the “angel’s share”
It’s just one of 65 cellars spread across the Cognac region that Hennessy utilises to house up to 350,000 barrels at any one time.
If the cellars hold the key to Hennessy’s deep history
standing under blustery skies in the heart of Hennessy’s historic Domaine de la Bataille vineyard
our ears perk up as a playful jingle announces the arrival of Ted
an autonomous viticulture robot that straddles a row of vines to remove it of weeds; two minders emerge from the vineyard behind it
each holding a game controller to direct Ted’s movements
Drones are also used to a large extent in the vineyards of Cognac
and high-tech imaging sensors to prematurely detect disease in the vines
predict crop yields as well as harvest dates
It’s a tricky balancing act to master
that constant tug between history and future
beyond serving as a lavish venue to indulge celebrities and high-net-worth clients
the Chateau de Bagnolet is also a reminder to the maison itself of its core identity—though that doesn’t mean it’s frozen in time.
is the setting for our last meal at the chateau with master blender Renaud Fillioux
and its show-stopping mosaic floor of 250,000 tiles arranged in a shimmering current is a fitting metaphor for the passing-down of savoir-faire through the ages
Gesturing at the sun-dappled surroundings as we speak about the transmission of knowledge through the generations
You forget but it takes centuries to build
Renaud didn't make such bad decisions—so we have something to drink!”

Text description provided by the architects. The reconstruction of Bagnolet town hall is part of a far-reaching urban regeneration project for the town centre. The project’s 5 objectives, which encompass the new development, are to:
▶create a connection with the existing historic building;
▶close off Rue Benoit Hure (whose only use was to provide access to the Mercuriales car park);
▶design a building whose scale would be compatible with the existing buildings and would help to reorganise the space;
▶open a pedestrian zone linking the cinema and the shops in order to develop community life.
Jean-Pierre Lott’s firm was tasked with working out how to represent the new building simply and clearly while at the same time preserving the historic town hall and its location in the middle of the square. Its proposal was to install a “sculpture” made up of three protruding slabs and scaled to the size of the neo-classical existing town hall. This juxtaposition of old and new immediately creates a connection between the two buildings.
© Luc BoeglyOn the street side, the façade of the offices is protected by a skin of woven stainless steel mesh which shields the offices from view and from direct sunlight. The façade also features passageways to allow staff to evacuate all the offices in the event of a fire. The project includes patios and patio gardens at the side of the building (one where the street used to be), which provide a pleasant view for staff within the town hall and for the neighbouring building.
© Luc BoeglyOn the first floor, a footbridge links the historic town hall and the new building, thus linking the impressive wedding hall to the rest of the ensemble.
The façades feature angular balconies, clad with a mesh of stainless steel panels. Each office opens out onto this space, thereby increasing its floor space externally.
SectionThe purpose of this double skin is to:
- provide offices with an alternative emergency exit to exits leading to the atrium (as requested by the fire services);
- ensure excellent sun control for the offices

Saturday 13 April – Global Day of Mobilisation and Fasting in Solidarity with the People of Gaza
2024) As a result of the deliberate actions carried out by the Israeli occupation of Palestine
hundreds of thousands of residents of Gaza are being denied access to sufficient food
and confront the growing risk of death by starvation
ongoing use of hunger as a tool of genocide adds to the massacre of over 32,000 Gazans
Despite the fact that many nations and international institutions have demanded a ceasefire
Israel continues to bomb civilian infrastructure and—with the help of its accomplices—to block access to humanitarian and food aid
along with other supplies necessary for the survival of the people of Gaza
we can send a powerful message from every corner of the earth condemning the use by Israel and its accomplices of starvation as a tool of genocide
or to any another organization working on the ground in Palestine to fight the deliberate use by Israel of starvation as a tool of genocide and to provide food directly to people in Gaza
Some of the actions to take on the 13th of April include:
All these peaceful activities that highlight the Palestinian cause are acts of solidarity
This collective and diverse action can exert pressure on governments to push for a ceasefire and bring an end to the starvation of the people of Gaza

Most visitors leave by the north-east exit at the respectable
a newly bobo (bourgeois-bohemian) district
great for a night out but somewhat self-regarding
if you take the south-east exit at the rue de la Réunion
you'll discover a neighbourhood that rarely appears in the guidebooks because the change is so recent it has yet to register on the tourist radar
Its main artery is the rue de Bagnolet and until about 20 years ago it was a quartier populaire
When Paris city council sold off the buildings to private landlords
many of the artisans and merchants moved out to the suburbs
and eventually bars hosting live world music
a friendly organic shop and a bevy of beauty salons where you can get a French manicure for €7
The quartier even has its own non-profit TV station
Take a stool at a bar or a chair at one of the many terraces and you can expect to meet local writers
who'll most likely have time for a beer and a chat
Many of the bars and restaurants host exhibitions
and at weekends there's often a band playing exuberantly in the street
a Médiathèque (massive multi-media library) opens at the top of rue de Bagnolet
and a three-star hotel is being built alongside it - by next year
If you like proper French markets with low prices
and stall-holders who hand you orange and melon segments

whelks and seaweed adorn the fish stall - only €3 for 300 grams of enormous prawns
There's also Darjeeling tea direct from India and large bouquets of roses for €6
This bar is the real heart of the neighbourhood
aided by his super-friendly and endlessly-helpful brother and cousin
Chez Rabah is a home from home for many in the area
the bar hosted the city's first poetry slam; it now has a poetry evening every Wednesday
and regular live music played on curious Eastern instruments
filling and served all day; Rabah's coffee
beer and calvados are very reasonably priced for Paris
the walls are covered in poetry and the giant lampshades cast a golden glow
There's plenty of comfy seats but most of the clientele congregate around the bar to exchange the day's gossip
Above the piano in the bar/café is a wild brimstone-coloured painting called Tempête Rue Planchat painted by the barman

Olympic Torch Relay | Stage 67 - Seine-Saint-Denis | Olympic Games Paris 2024Watch the highlights of the 67th stage of the Olympic Torch Relay for the Olympic Games Paris 2024 that took place in Seine-Saint-Denis
Not only is Seine-Saint-Denis the ‘youngest’ administrative department in France
but it is also the most multi-cultural with almost 130 nationalities
Its exceptional heritage is made up of 75 historical monuments as well as industrial and urban resources
as the rest of the world will discover throughout the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games
when it hosts events for ten sports including four Paralympic disciplines
They will be spread out over the Olympic aquatic centre (for artistic swimming

The day before the launch of the Paris 2024 Games
the Olympic Torch relay endeavoured to promote the assets and initiatives that are the pride of Seine-Saint-Denis
with a visit to the Arènes de Picasso complex and to Neuilly-sur-Marne
particularly in front of the Sainte-Baudile church
The Olympic Torch Relay crossed through Tremblay-en-France and its 70 hectares of woods

2024 – International Day of Peasant Struggles
we mark the International Day of Peasant Struggles
our annual action day that brings us together to commemorate the Eldorado do Carajás* massacre in 1996 and to honor the resistance of peasants worldwide who persist in their struggle for social justice and dignity
Following our 8th international conference last December
and determination to confront the multifaceted crises
We continue an unwavering fight against genocides
the criminalization and persecution of peasants and their leaders
as well as extractivism and violations of peasants’ rights
we safeguard our mother earth against the grip of agribusiness multinationals
This devastation involves various actors in the shadows
notably neoliberal institutions such as the WTO
Their interference in national agricultural policies
Free trade agreements (FTAs) and other economic partnership frameworks imposing neoliberal conditions linked to loans and financial assistance programs
or measures favoring the interests of corporations
it is the peasants who provide sustenance to 70% of the global population with healthy and quality food
the world witnesses multiple crises affecting every aspect of life on Earth
The capitalist system now reveals its true destructive nature
driving peasants in Asia and other parts of the world to suicide due to unpayable debts
It corrupts governments in the interest of a few elites
thereby compromising the future of humanity
not only through militarism but also by denying access to food
as experienced by the Haitian population with anti-peasant policies and gangsterization orchestrated to facilitate a new foreign intervention
allowing the seizure of peasant lands and the looting of commons
where EU sanctions affect the right to food of the populations
Political and armed conflicts provoked in Libya
and Sudan have led to massive population displacements
and difficulties in accessing agricultural lands
multinational corporations impose their profits over the fundamental rights of peasant families
leading to their eviction and the exploitation of Mother Earth
This capitalist logic undermines peasant struggles for peasant rights
sustainable and diversified agroecological production methods
with social justice serving as peasant solutions to the food and climate crisis**
It crushes diversity in all its gender and ethnic forms and ignores local and ancestral agricultural knowledge
masking its true intentions behind development solutions that serve only the economic interests of a minority
Those who control and commodify our commons hinder youth peasants from accessing land and break the autonomy of peasants and peoples
2024 started with massive protests of peasant farmers in Europe
and other parts of the world against destructive agricultural policies
These demonstrations are not limited to seeking fair prices and a dignified life for peasants but also express the need for a society oriented toward a future where peasant agroecology prevails over agribusiness methods and where social justice and the dignity of everyone are ensured
It is imperative to guarantee that no one is forced to leave their land
and culture to seek a better life elsewhere while sacrificing their lives to feed their families
we are preparing for the Nyéléni World Forum in 2025
which will convene the international movement for food sovereignty to confront the challenges of hunger and poverty by advancing the development and fortification of local economies
we will occupy the streets and all spaces where peasant struggles are left to forcefully reaffirm our peasant path and strengthen food sovereignty in our territories
and supporters of La Via Campesina to mobilize now and throughout April
united in a single solidarity voice to support the struggles of peasants against global crises
#17April #PeasantStruggles #FoodSovereigntyNow #PeasantRightsNow
Here are the actions we can take together:
With its large, open lawns, it's the ideal place - in the Montreuil and Bagnolet area - to come and soak up the sun, picnic outside on the many tables provided or take a stroll in one of the biggest green lungs in the area, with its 26 hectares of greenery. For younger visitors, there are several play areas in the park: the aire des sources with its water games
which is also suitable for children with reduced mobility
Take a stroll through the Parc Jean Moulin les Guilands
an educational garden and the Fosses aux fraises allotments
where you can learn all about gardening during a workshop
Sports enthusiasts will love the athletics track and sports field (perfect for basketball
tennis or handball) available to the public throughout the day
there's a caniparc in the park where they too can let off steam
Every afternoon, the Maison du Parc, located within the park, opens its doors to you to discover its exhibitions devoted to the environment and heritage, or to take advantage of the many free events and outings on offer throughout the year. For a pleasant stroll around Montreuil or Bagnolet, head for Parc Jean Moulin les Guilands
From Bagnolet, we already know the large Parc Jean Moulin-les Guilands, straddling Montreuil and Bagnolet. Less well known to people from outside Bagnolet, the Josette et Maurice Audin park is a small
bucolic square offering a lovely stroll away from the concrete boulevards
the park regularly hosts cultural events and concerts organized by the town
At the heart of the park is the Château de l'Étang
a 19th-century manor house built at the same time as an artificial pond
it is now a place of service for local residents
the park at Château de l'Étang will change its name to "Josette et Maurice Audin"
in tribute to the French mathematician who was tortured and murdered in 1957 by the French army in Algeria
who dedicated her life to bringing the truth to light about her husband's tragic fate
a sandpit for pitchouns and a boules pitch for fans
The city's greenhouses are also located here
and we recommend that you get up close to the two purple beech trees that add to the park's charm
Parc Josette et Maurice Audin is open every day
are accessible to people with reduced mobility and baby carriages
take metro line 11 and get off at the terminus (Mairie des Lilas)
The Mercuriales towers
twin towers located in the Porte de Bagnolet district of the 20th arrondissement
are emblematic of the eastern Paris landscape
they bear witness to the ambition of the time to create a replica of the La Défense district
the project never saw the light of day due to the 1979 oil crisis and the ensuing economic downturn
Of the entire district that had been planned
only the two Mercuriales dominate the urban landscape of Porte de Bagnolet
the Mercuriales towers are set to undergo a radical transformation with this new project

Little-Known Commemoration to "La Mome"
Marriott International has signed a deal with Omnam Group to develop two hotels in Paris’ Les Mercuriales; a pair of mixed-use urban towers in the Bangolet neighbourhood
each tower will house a Marriott-branded hotel
with a 570-key Sheraton property occupying one and a 272-key Moxy in the other
The dual-branded development will offer guests two distinct experiences
Vice President Development at Marriott International
France & Benelux comments: “We’re delighted to continue our collaboration working with the Omnam Group after signing the development in 2017 of the W hotel in Rome
and we look forward to creating yet another exciting hospitality experience together
providing our guests with fantastic access to enjoy all Paris has to offer and is a strategic destination in which to expand our European portfolio
Marriott International has a current footprint of more than forty hotels in France across 13 of its brands and we continue to see new growth opportunities.”
Les Mercuriales will seek to establish itself as a gathering place for business and leisure guests
with a plaza connecting the towers containing F&B and retail outlets
“We have an excellent and longstanding collaboration with Marriott International,” adds David Zisser
we are looking forward to bringing energy and buzz into the Bagnolet area
the Sheraton and Moxy brands have in common is that they offer such a well-rounded entertainment programme outside of just guestrooms
leading to an unforgettable experience for travellers and Parisians.”

Summer is often the best time for stargazing
it's not easy to find the perfect spot for it
Mont Valérien is the perfect place to admire the stars
you’ll be much further away from all the light pollution and can enjoy it to the full
this forest is far from all the light and noise pollution
it brings together all the perfect conditions for observations
If you want to stargaze, the Limours plateau will be your favorite playground. Perched 181 meters high, the plateau’s unobstructed view lends itself easily to a night of astronomy. Nicknamed the “Tibet of the Île-de-France”, you’ll be able to see part of the Eiffel Tower
this park is a great spot for astronomy enthusiasts and star gazers alike
This huge 25-hectare park is not short of space
With its heights and unobstructed views, this park is ideal for stargazing, especially on clear nights. Whether on the Sacré-Coeur square or in the Marcel Bleustein square
Fingers crossed for as little pollution as possible
don’t miss “Paris under the stars”
come star-gaze and try your hand at seeing shooting stars with the whole family at Parc Montsouris
entrance via 26 boulevard Jourdan 75014 Paris
If you’d like to get the most out of stargazing
We’re keeping our fingers crossed that you’ll be able to see the Perseids this year

Il a visité une maison de 200 mètres carrés sur les hauteurs de Tulle.
