Mission (almost) accomplished for little Camille, and with style. The 8-year-old girl, who had challenged herself to cycle more than 150 km to raise funds for her association, reached the Parc des Princes on Wednesday.
When she arrived near the stadium, Camille did not expect to be greeted by around fifty Parisian supporters, members of the Collectif Ultras Paris (CUP) or its social branch, the CUP Solidarités. A few minutes before the appearance of the little girl, in her yellow vest and on her bike, they had already started to give voice, remixing the famous songs of the bend by replacing “Paris” by… “Camille”, necessarily.
“Camille is a heroine”
A few banners bearing his name, smoke bombs, and Camille’s arrival turned into a real party. “We expected a welcome, but there, it’s just magic, it’s above our expectations,” said Sylvain, the dad, very moved. “It’s a reward, and I think it will motivate her even more to help other children.”

“Camille is a heroine, what she has done is inspiring, reacted, admiring, Cédric, PSG supporter present at the Park. I’m proud of what we did to welcome him. I had tears in my eyes, it was a highlight. It’s stronger than a victory at the Park, these are more important things than sport. »
A big smile crossing her young face, she was given a jersey, offered by the PSG Foundation, t-shirts and scarves from ultra Parisians, before being invited to the grounds of the Parc des Princes.
Sheltered from the sun, the eyes and the cameras, she was then able to achieve one of her goals with this crazy challenge: to meet Kylian Mbappé. Present at the Parc des Princes for the afternoon, she was able to share a moment with him in the locker room and spend part of the afternoon in his company. All that remains is to make the way back, from the Parc des Princes to Dreux. With lots of nice memories in mind.
