It’s the 50th, the 50th stage of the Olympic torch relay. This took place in the Eure department in Normandy. Again, the movement saw some sights, including “Little Venice” – the nickname of the town of Pont-Audemer crossed by the river Risle. After having sailed the seas for a long time, the new fire test this Sunday.
Then you see Château de Gisors or Vieux-Moulin de Vernon. And even a listed historical monument: Château des Tourelles, dating back to 1196. Medieval education, but also entertainment. An environment dedicated to sports takes place at Jesse Owens Stadium. The flags of the countries were presented there, under the watch of Just Kwaou-Mathey, world medalist in the 60m hurdles and representative of the department.
Tribute to Vastine
There is another athlete: Meba-Mickaël Zeze, European vice-champion in 4×100 m in 2016 and 2022. It is also a time for memories. Adriani Vastine and his father Alain Vastine turned to the gymnast Alexis Vastine, who won the bronze medal at the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008, seven years before his death.
Finally, Astrid Guyart finished the ball. The silver blade at the Tokyo Olympics lit the cauldron in the hometown of Vernon. Sport is obviously not the only area in the spotlight. Actor Birane Ba (I will always see your face) and actors from local life are there.
On Sunday, the fire will not rest. It will travel through the territory of the regions of Chartres, located between Île-de-France, Normandy and Beauce, from Dreux to Chartres.
