By car Simone! And make way for Antoine! The legendary voice of SNCF will be at rest for the Rugby World Cup to be held in France from September 8 to October 28, 2023.
This Friday, the Stade Toulousain scrum-half went to the operational center of the SNCF Paris-Montparnasse to record various announcement messages for the stations. For the moment, the ambassador of the French public railway company does not yet know if his voice will be broadcast in the host cities of the competition (Saint-Denis, Marseille, Lyon, Lille, Saint-Étienne, Bordeaux, Nice, Nantes , Toulouse) or in all stations in France.
Other surprises for travelers
The change of voice is not the only novelty for the SNCF. The recent champion of France will also have his silhouette on the engines (locomotives) of the TGV to dress the trains. The SNCF informs the Parisian that these developments will take place “mainly in the stations of the host cities”. It also wishes to broadcast a hologram of Antoine Dupont, already recorded on a green background according to The Dispatch.
The player, ambassador of SNCF and railway workers since March 2022, explains the importance of this company. “To go to see matches, go on vacation or with the youth teams on the move, the SNCF is a component of my best memories. »
Next meeting for the captain of the Blues, the gathering of the France team, on July 2. Still on vacation since his title of champion of France, on June 17, he will join his teammates in Monaco to prepare for the next test match of our rugby players, on August 5, against Scotland.
