La Parisienne of Cafébabel.com

We were warned: "Get prepared for some games !" And it seems like the Olympics events happened a bit earlier. Indeed Monday April, 7th the flame tour stopped in Paris and the least we could say is that it has been brought out of track. Despite the €400 000 security staff, the pro-Tibet demonstrators definetely made their point in order to support the Dalai-Lama people. Will Beijing hear their claim? That is less certain...

The memory dated back to 15 years ago. 1993, the Olympique de Marseille team won the Champion’s league cup. Since that day: it seems like the desert. No French club has succeeded in reaching the top European football heights. While the Real Madrid won the prestigious cup nine times, seven times for the Milan AC, Liverpool chalked it up five times, four times for the Bayern of Munich; compared to this prize lists, French performances look pale.

There is nothing more thrilling than a public performance, especially when it is done in French which still, after six months of serious efforts, is not my mother tongue. This week I had my true baptism of fire – my first exposé en oral, a presentation. It also tested how well I had managed to soak up the golden rules of the méthode francaise.

You have a strong journalistic streak or words flow easily for you in addition to what you’re a fan of Europe? La Parisienne is for you!

We are getting used to Nicolas Sarokzy’s commotions; the insult he pronounced at the Agriculture Show Expo was just another example. However, the agricultural exhibition taking place at the Versailles gate gave him the opportunity to reshape both the agricultural common policy and the agricultural policy of the European Union in the frame of the WTO according to his own understanding. What will Brussels and our European neighbours think about it?
