« Anne Hidalgo veut célébrer Paris et ses monuments avec les Jeux olympiques, mais sans les bouquinistes. Nous faisons partie de Paris. Vouloir nous faire disparaître, c’est aussi absurde que de démonter la tour Eiffel ou Notre-Dame de Paris ! Nous sommes là depuis quatre cent cinquante ans » , rappelle Jérôme Callais.

“Anne Hidalgo wants to celebrate Paris and its monuments with the Olympic Games, but without the second-hand bookstores. We are part of Paris. Wanting to make us disappear is as absurd as dismantling the Eiffel Tower or Notre-Dame de Paris! We have been here for four hundred and fifty years,” recalls Jérôme Callais. 😡😠

untitled da:i ficlet, inquisitor in Haven

It wasn’t that the sun set any earlier in the mountains than it did in similar latitudes; the sky stayed day-bright, hours after Haven fell into darkness.

untitled da:i ficlet, inquisitor & blackwall in Haven

“There’s no mystery to it,” said Sophy, around the pins in her mouth, “Do you know how many Trevalyen children there are?”

untitled da:i ficlet, inquisitor & party in Crestwood

“So, Hero,” said Varric, leaning back in his chair, as Blackwall threw another log on the fire, “Wish you were back in Skyhold yet?”

untitled da:i ficlet, inquisitor & blackwall in Skyhold

“Respectfully, my lady Trevalyen,” said Blackwall, speaking between swings of a maul, the thud of split wood falling against the warm soil, “Solas – or even Pavus, or Madame de Fer – would be better able to answer such a question.”

Who something lost, the seeking for Is all that's left them, now - (1899, pre- Clémence/Jérôme)

“It’s unusual, that’s all I’m saying,” said one of the men at the oars to another, shivering.

half-built and half-rotted (potc: dmc, 5 sentence prompt fic, james norrington in tortuga)

Tortuga had been a new place, but all new places could be learned: a small island and a smaller port, half-built and half-rotted, alive in the same way that bloody-faced vultures and mushrooms were.

some familiar thing missing, or some unfamiliar thing at home (potc:dmc, 5 sentence prompt fic, elizabeth swann cannot figure james norrington out)

Truthfully, she never expected to see James Norrington again, and in some ways Elizabeth is not sure she has: there is a man in a hammock who answers to that name, who has a captain’s coat, and the same sharp-tongued disdain for what irritates him – but (and here, when she has thought on it, she has struggled) either there is some familiar thing missing, or some unfamiliar thing at home.

stood in the twilight (timeless, five sentence prompt fic, lucy preston and garcia flynn contemplate the sublime, and frostbite)

“Have you ever seen anything like it?” Lucy asked, thinking she would have gestured to the fading light in the sky if she could have borne unwrapping her heavy wool shawl for the half-second it would have taken to point – but they did not call 1816 The Year Without A Summer for nothing.

irrevocably altered (potc:cotbp, five sentence prompt fic, elizabeth swann at odds with her old life)

There was comfort, if only in the physical attributes of the King’s House in Port Royal: her feather-soft mattress, food not gone rotted in the cask, windows wide to every wandering breeze – things which Elizabeth had always understood, vaguely and without much in comparison, to be luxuries.

a pass-port for her presence (mercy street, five sentence prompt fic, henry hopkins struggles with emma green's indirect words)

It was easier to know those you didn’t than those you did, Henry Hopkins had thought at some distant, drunken point in the past – a practice as straightforward as prayer, to copy a man’s words exactly to send to his family, or to recall who and which had requested some concession or another.

Patterns:

A prompt specifically for five sentences brings out the worst in me, length-of-sentence-wise.

I love dialogue as a starter, particularly "Indirect Observation," Specific Description of Speaker/Speaker's Actions, "Indirect Observation, Continued And/Or Refined."

I think I try to establish who the POV character is pretty quickly - maybe too quickly?

what is it with me writing fics where someone's chopping firewood, or fussing with firewood. i'm not that cold all the time.

Lyrics:

I'll make it quick for you to know

Splashing my feelings is not where I'm the best (at)

I've never told you many things that I should

The words are on my lips, it's time to tell you the truth

The words are on my lips, it's time to tell you the truth

I belong to the roads now

Coming home to my old town

This pretty smile on this pretty face

I think I am the happiest man on earth

I belong to the roads now

Coming home to my old town

This pretty smile on this pretty face

I think I am the happiest man on earth

I think I am the happiest man on earth

I think I am the happiest man on earth

I think I am the happiest man on earth

I think I am the happiest man on earth

Will you let me empty

The pain in your eyes

The chain in your heart

I'm gonna break it with my arms

Whenever you feel sad

In times of dark days

Going through a bad patch

Please come and take my hand

I care too much about you

To let you get drown

I'll always stay around

Whenever you hit the ground

I belong to the roads now

Coming home to my old town

This pretty smile on this pretty face

I think I am the happiest man on earth

I belong to the roads now

Coming home to my old town

This pretty smile on this pretty face

I think I am the happiest man on earth

I think I am the happiest man on earth

I think I am the happiest man on earth

I think I am the happiest man on earth

I think I am the happiest man on earth

Will you let me empty

The pain in your eyes

The chain in your heart

I'm gonna break it with my arms

Whenever you feel sad

In times of dark days

Going through a bad patch

Please come and take my hand

I care too much about you

To let you get drown

I'll always stay around

Whenever you hit the ground

I belong to the roads now

Coming home to my old town

This pretty smile on this pretty face

I think I am the happiest man on earth

Who am I ?

Let me introduce myself, my name is Audrey, I'm 27 years old, and yes I still play the sims.

I love this game, I've been playing it since The Sims 2 came out, my sister and I were fighting to get the computer to play!

In life I am a self-employed nail technician, and I have shared my life with Jérôme since March 25, 2019.

I share with you all my lookbooks, my creations for my love of decoration, and my story with Jérome

I would like to share with you my love for the sims, through my social networks, and to be able to share this same love for this game together.

See you soon

top 5 episodes of 1899/top five scenes? please and thank you!

thank you!! under a cut because im a Wordy Bitch

top five episodes of 1899

The Calling (Episode Five) - I think it's such a terrific episode that does so much to change the game. We hear Elliot speak for the first time, we see Maura's father in full the first time, Sebastian reveals his true allegiances, we get that AMAZING scene where time stops (and honestly we don't even know in full how that actually fucking worked now that I think about that, like did Elliot stop time or did Maura control the simulation herself?)... plus, the imagery of the passengers leaping from the ship is so much and so terrifying. The loss of both Yuk Je and Krester hurts so much at this point in the show. And also amidst all this plot, we also still get so many character beats - Jérôme going to protect Lucien and Clémence, Ramiro and Ángel reconciling, Maura and Eyk being honest with each other, and Olek and Ling Yi's relationship really becoming important. I love it. It's a powerhouse of an episode.

The Ship (Episode One) - To get a mystery box show right, you need to crush the pilot episode, and boy does 1899 ever! The imagery in the first couple of minutes immediately sets up the tone of the show. Emily immediately kills it as Maura, and the slow introduction of all the ensemble is so magnificent. I could talk for hours about the way that scene in the dining hall is written and shot, especially how that scene with the cups immediately tells you something is Inherently Wrong with this ship. The slow burn to finding the Prometheus, as well as what happens when they get on the ship? Amazing. Plus the way the show tells us exactly what's happening on the show both with Ada talking to Tove and the goddamn last word we hear in the final montage's music - "remember" - shows us Bo and Jantje knew what they were doing.

The Boy (Episode Two) - This episode is high for a lot of personal reasons as One Might Guess, but we'll get to that in a minute. I love the way they build up Eyk's character. Andreas is an incredible actor and I just love the way he sets up not only Eyk's grief and trauma but exactly who he is as a person. Another acting highlight is Fflynn as Elliot - he's so creepy but his performance is also really goddamn sophisticated for him being a literal child. On the subject of key scenes, I also love that this episode has Jérôme and Clémence's first meeting - they're such a fascinating duo and their first scene is loaded with such tension. And of course, I love the Ramiro/Ángel of it all, but my favorite moment is that brief scene of them where Ángel is watching Ramiro sleep as Anker's prayer plays over it because I do think that was setting some stuff up.

The Storm (Episode Seven) - This episode is such a gut punch in the best way. The stakes are so high and even if we know that the characters we lose aren't necessarily gone because of the simulation, it still hurts to watch all those death scenes. Anker's decision to stay with Iben, Olek dying after promising Ling Yi she'd live, Franz sacrificing himself for Tove... and of course, Ramiro losing Ángel all make it such a perfect human tragedy against the sci-fi backdrop. Add in the conflict with Maura, Henry, Daniel, and Sebastian, and you've got a perfect episode of TV. The ending of the Kerberos going into the archive is also just such damn good visuals.

The Fight (Episode Four) - While I absolutely despise the character, I cannot help but love Maria's performance as Iben, and I feel like this episode is her showcase. What a pitch perfect performance. I also am obsessed with Jérôme, so getting to see his story and his character flourish in this episode is just catnip for me, especially since Yann is one of the strongest performers in an already strong group. The Jérôme/Clémence "romance" is also so well done, and I love seeing that instant connection blossom more. Plus, the dynamic duo of Eyk and Ramiro is excellent, as is seeing Ramiro getting to take on a more active role in the narrative (if only we had better footage of him kicking Franz's ass!). Also the Krester and Ángel moment is such a powerhouse, but that's a meta for another time.

Favorite Scenes!!

The Ramiro and Anker confession scene. Look, I could sit here all day and talk about why this scene is brilliant, but at the core it is so much about human connection and understanding, even if they can't understand how similar they both are. Also the acting makes me scream.

I am only allowing myself one (1) Ramiro/Ángel scene on this list and for me the scene is their pseudo-breakup in episode three. José absolutely destroys me in this scene and you can feel Ramiro's desperation and anguish just pouring off the screen. It also represents such a key moment for Ramiro, my beloved, so I have to put this on here.

The dining room scene. I love Rosalie's performance as Virginia so much and the way this scene weaves in setting her up for something as well as introduces us to the key first class ensemble players is so much. Plus, I do think the moment of them all lifting their cups at the same time is just such an excellent way of setting up something being Wrong before the Prometheus even enters the picture.

Clémence and Tove in episode six. I love Clémence and the idea of her bristling at the life she's been forced into - one where she's married to a man she does not love, who mistreats her, and where she's undoubtably expected to have children - sets up so much for her character and illustrates why she makes the choices she does throughout the series. I also just love her look with the pants.

This is so hard for me but I think I have to give this to a section of an episode - the characters going through the different memories in episode 8. I love that Clémence and Jérôme hear Lucien and try to help him (also how did they escape???). I love that Ramiro and Ling Yi are teamed up in this scene - the fact they're holding hands kills me, they're besties - and then I love how the voices of their love interests lead them out of the memories and back to the ship. It's such a good sequence!

Bonus sixth scene - The final scene with Maura and Daniel. I cry every time.

Who likes to collect merch of their favourite shows, like figurines and concept art/BTS books? Who goes to book signings and has a full bookcase with all sorts of genres? Who has a huge stack of boardgames and could spend countless nights in a row playing with their set group of friends?

And why is it Olek?

I'm sorry, but you see... I just think he is a big nerd who doesn't look like it at all. Ling Yi saw how built he was, and how he was often covered in oil stains from working at the repair shop, so she never suspected anything until Olek was comfortable enough to start sharing his interests in old TV shows, movies, and retro games with her. She was speechless for a long time while he explained it all, and then kept pestering him for more. "So you like that thing too?" "And what about that other one?" "I can't believe you took this long to tell me all this!" She also struggled to learn D&D in the beginning, but now she enjoys the game nights and always tries to buy pretty new dice for Olek, just because she finds it so funny and charming how competitive he is with Jérôme to see who has the best set each time they get together.

Plus, I like the image of Olek chilling on the couch during rainy days reading books and Ling Yi sleeping on his chest. I like it a lot, and for Olek, there is no better way to spend rainy days!

Aw, it’s so sweet that you’ve headcanoned Olek as a nerd! I mean, I’d have to think about it a bit more to see how it would fit into my modern AU version, but I like this vision you’ve laid out.

And, seriously, Olek hosting a game night — whether for D&D or of the more standard variety — is such an adorable idea. (Who would be the DM, do you think? I would say Jérôme, but maybe they could get Henry Singleton? He seems like he would really get into it and devise a ton of fiendish scenarios.)

And yes to rainy days with Olek reading and Ling Yi sleeping against him! I agree — there’s no better way to do it.

Véra Clouzot and Simone Signoret in Diabolique (Henri-Georges Clouzot, 1955)

Cast: Simone Signoret, Véra Clouzot, Paul Meurisse, Charles Vanel, Jean Brochard, Thérèse Dorny, Michel Serrault. Screenplay: Henri-Georges Clouzot, Jérôme Géronimi, René Masson, Frédéric Grendel, based on a novel by Pierre Boileau and Tomas Narcejac. Cinematography: Armand Thirard. Art direction: Léon Barsacq. Film editing: Madeleine Gug. Music: Georges Van Parys.

Diabolique (or Les Diaboliques) was probably one of the first foreign language films I ever saw, so I'm glad to say that it holds up after all these years, as any good thriller must even when you know its twists. I'm not one who is spoiled by "spoilers": I knew the gimmick in The Crying Game (Neil Jordan, 1992) before I saw it, and I like to think I appreciated it more because I could see how it was being set up, and I enjoyed The Sixth Sense (M. Night Shyamalan, 1999) more the second time I watched it. To my mind, any good thriller with a twist has to work independently of that twist, which Diabolique does. What it has going for it especially is Clouzot's superb control of atmosphere, helped by the sets, music, cinematography, and of course the performances of Véra Clouzot as Christina, Simone Signoret as Nicole, Paul Meurisse as Michel, Charles Vanel as Fichet, and a gallery of mildly grotesque supporting players, all working together to create a thoroughly sordid and unpleasant but also hypnotizing milieu. Even before the murder takes place, I was seriously creeped out by the shabby old school, its rowdy boys and ratty staff, and the sadism displayed by Michel toward his wife and mistress. That said, the story doesn't entirely hold together in any dispassionate post-viewing analysis. Without giving away any of the film's secrets, I spotted numerous loose threads. To name one, why is Christina so insistent on not divorcing Michel when she's perfectly willing to go along with a plot to murder him? We are expected to believe that she's a devout Catholic with religious scruples against divorce, but surely the church is at least as much against murdering your husband as it is against divorcing him. But I'm perfectly happy to ignore the implausible when the movie is as gripping as this one is.

[ungrateful-cyborg]

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you. learn to know your mutuals and followers. <3

Hm...

My friends and family, cats included.

Videos games, more specifically FFXIV and the Sims 4 at the moment. I'm not really the kind of gamer than plays many games, I tend to focus on one or two instead until I get bored of them.

Walking in nature. I'm luck enough to live in a country that basically looks like a postcard (Switzerland). I don't get out a lot aside of work but currently I work in a job that's half-inside, half-outside so that's nice.

Daydreaming about my OCs because what I do definitely doesn't count as writing :'D

And last but not least... watching videos of people renovating their house/videos about ecological restoration projects. If anybody else is interested, my fav house renovation channel is this one: Les Jérômes (They speak French but English subtitles are available).

Thanks for the ask, @musing-and-music!

[parcequecestnotreprojeeeet]

I'm sorry this is so long, wasn't supposed to be haha. But adding to your what kind of music they like ask response; Emmanuel is an old soul indeed yet Brigitte not so much, I'd say she very much likes electronic music, seeing how the Élysée's fêtes de la musique always look. In 2018 you could see her dancing to Daft Punk's Aerodynamic or singing the beginning of Kavinsky's Nightcall, for instance (by the way, the lyrics in Kavinsky's piece are I'm giving you a nightcall to tell you how I feel... I wonder if she does that to Emmanuel sometimes when they're apart). Kavinsky later said himself that « Cette femme adorable connaît tous mes morceaux et m’écoute chaque fois qu’elle prend l’avion » (This lovely woman knows all my songs and listens to them every time she takes a plane). Also, she definitely likes MIKA, they have an adorable photo together at the Élysée and I believe there was a sports event? back in 2019 or so... that Brigitte went to specifically because MIKA was going to perform there before the game. And, given she attended their concerts, I'd say she's a U2 and Johnny Hallyday fan. Plus, obviously, we recently learned that the song which moves her and the one she sings the most is Je suis venu te dire que je m'en vais by Serge Gainsbourg. And, judging by the choices of performers for the Gala des Pièces Jaunes, it's possible she's a bit into K-pop too, and enjoys BLACKPINK. Generally, I feel like the entire setlist and the list of the artists invited to the gala were strongly influenced by Brigitte and Emmanuel's music preferences lol (so, if I didn't miss anyone, they had: Pharrell Williams, MIKA with Vianney, Kid Cudi, Angèle, Mentissa, Soolking, Gautier Capuçon, Christrine and the Queens, Daniel Lozakovich, Michel Polnareff, GIMS, BLACKPINK, Alexandre Kantorow, Hugues Borsarello and Jérôme Ducros).

Aaah oops, you are right, I only answered Emmanuel’s part of the question. Sometimes it’s hard to focus on anything other than him 😁 So thank you for answering the Brigitte part!

[rolling-solo]

bought some great stuff at a convention this weekend! details of where you can find these under the cut

Wreck this Deck by Becky Annison. I didn't pick this up at the last con I went to and have regretted it since! Was sad not to see Black Armada at the con themselves but picked this up at an Indie RPG stall.

Tales from the Crows' Nest by Tim Roberts (PDF). Didn't know there was a new setting for BLAC released so was excited to see this at the Critical Kit stand!

Oh No... I Started a Cult by Mike Garley. Never heard of Black Stag Press before but this sounds like a fun & quick solo RPG.

A Collection of Improving Exercises by Tim Hutchings. I'm always a fan of a solo RPG that isn't really about playing in a traditional sense. This looks gorgeous and slightly strange, which is right up my street. Also, Tim Hutchings' games are a nightmare to get hold of outside of conventions so I bought it rather than regret my decision, like I did before with his Thousand Year Old Vampire.

Death in Berlin by Jérôme Mioso. This is the first time Critical Kit have published something by an author other than Tim. I trust his judgement so bought this on his recommendation. Had a quick flick through and the gameplay looks really interesting.

The Almanac of Sanguine Paths by Rori Montford. When I found out this existed, I was so excited to buy it. Dead Letter Society but with werewolves?! Incredible, can't wait to play.

Artefact and Bucket of Bolts by Jack Harrison (PDFs). I love Mousehole Press and am waiting on my copy of Koriko to arrive in the post, so had to swing by to say hi. I didn't have either of these RPGs already so picked them up while I could.

Food Chain Island and Fishing Lessons by Scott Almes. Wanted to pick up at least something from Buttonshy as they can be tricky to get in the UK. picked up both on a bit of a whim but they're delightful.

Dice sets by Dice Goblin. I had my eye on the new baker set and was so glad they had them available. Also grabbed the Apostle set as a sneaky little treat.

The first season caught everyone's attention when it aired in 2021, and a teaser for the second season has now aired. Expect us to be able to watch it this winter in November! Season 2 "features Caitlin and Azure", these 2 characters have a close relationship, but Caitlin and Azure have an important enemy: Ugarte. As a result, there's a high probability that they'll be battling Ugarte in Season Two.

The appealing wow factor for me is that the concept design seems to move. It's visually stunning, incorporating a stylised rendering of 2D backgrounds + 3D characters, "triple rendered". The team behind it! Produced by French animation studio Fortiche Prod, Fortiche was founded in 2009 by Jérôme Combe, Pascal Charrue and Arnaud Delord, who have been working ever since to develop Fortiche into one of the top animation studios in the world. Since then, they have been committed to developing Fortiche into one of the world's leading animation studios.

I watched the disciplinary film about their production, from how it all started to the production choices. It made me look forward to more animation for the second instalment, and they talked about how "Because we have a sense of responsibility to the players, it feels like we created these game characters, and then the players responded by giving their time and love to the characters, and we feel like these characters deserve a better story to back them up."

It was only when I saw Jinx's animation bindings that I realised that the animators had designed a special binding for her, which allows her to transform between young and old, and this is the source of the charm of Jinx's micro-expressions in the animation. I learnt in the documentary that the production process started with the design stage, where backgrounds and character props were designed, and that all the backgrounds for Battle of the Two Cities were hand-drawn. The sub-production department is also working on the script, but it's important to work with the director to create something that's not in the script. At the same time, the dubbing work is also going on, recording some temporary audio tracks, and eventually, getting a rough and dynamic split episode with sound effects. I was surprised that there was no motion capture used in the animation process, as the film is not motion captured at all, considering it is "semi-realistic", it's all hand-held.

Understanding the production process of such an excellent animation through the documentary behind it, learning not only the professional aspects of knowledge, but also a need to slowly polish the heart, the first season took 6 years, but the second season will soon be with us. Very much looking forward to it!

I really like the prop design in it, which is Fishbones by designer Arnaud-Loris Baudry. The exaggeration in the design, coupled with the props of the rational conception. And I did not expect the weapon so big hhh. But my favourite is his material drawing, with a thicker-than-the-touch!

In the trailer clip for Season 2, first there is the sound of ragged breathing and an arm being infused with fluids emerges from the darkness. Then the man with a bandage wrapped around the lower half of his face appears. The fluids continued to be channelled along the pipes on the floor, eventually meeting and fusing within the huge device. The man then glances at the pocket watch in his hand and clutches it tightly in his palm. As the camera zoomed away, he sat alone in the darkness, seemingly planning his next move. And will the huge mysterious figure that appears behind him bring a new nightmare.

Paris, France – March 14, 2024 –&nbsp, On March 15, 16 and 17, the Hermès house did welcome sixty of the world’s best users and their horses to the Grand Palais Éphémère for three days of opposition labeled 5*, the highest level of international events. Twenty-five global çandidates under the age of 25 may also take part in the Hermès ability tests. A few days before ƫheir entry onto the trail, we take a look at the people competing in the Saut Hermès at thȩ Grand Palais Éphémère, 2024 model.

The lineup for this thirtȩenth edition of the Saut Hermès at the Grand Palais, which was co-ordinated by GL Occasions, promises intense spσrts and tension. Both Hermès partner riders Ben Maher ( GBR ) and Steve Guerdat ( SUI), who have been the world number one for more than a year, have confirmed their presence. The top three riders in the world will face serious competition, including Hermès partner riders Simon Delestre and Julien Épaillard ( 4th ) and Simon Épaillard (7th ), two of whom are also French riders. Max Khüner ( AUT), who is currently eįghth in the world rankings, adds to the group of six top tȩn alumni on the Parisian track. Numerous other champions reacted to the sports concern that the Spanish program manager Santiago Varela Ullastres had suggested. In fact, there will be no fewer than 20 countries competing in this one.

Marlón Módolo Zanotelli ( BRA ), the team bronze medalist from the last year’s Pan American Games, and Santiago Lambre ( BRA ), the recent 5* Grand Prix winner in Doha ( Qatar ), will be able to count on Brazil. The Belgian Pieter Devos, who won the FEI World Cup Grand Prix in Basel ( SUI) in February last year, will also be on the track, along with his fellow riders Gudrun Patteet ( BEL), Rik Hemeryck ( BEL), Wil Vermeir ( BEL), and Jérôme Guéry ( BEL), who has been Hermès ‘ rider partner since 2017, along with a sizable delegation made up of regulars from the Paris Only Marcus Ehning ( GER ) and Simon Delestre ( GER ) have succeeded in achieving the double that Victor Bettendorf ( LUX), who won his first 5* grand prix at Saut Hermès last year, will be present.

In addition to the experienced Roger- Yves Bost ( FRA ), the reigning French Pro Elite champion Edward Levy ( FRA ), Kevin Staut ( FRA ), who has won three CSI 5* titles since the start of the year, and Olivier Perreau ( FRA ), partner rider of GL events, who was the author of a double clear round in the Abu Dhabi Nations League in January, France will have 16 representatives from this year. The younger generation will also be well represented, particularly Julien Anquetin, who has seven victories and three podium finishes in 4* and 5* competitions since December, or even Jeanne Sadran ( FRA ), who is gearing up to compete in her first FEI World Cup Final after taking second place in the FEI World Cup Grand Prix in Bordeaux in February.

In the Hermès skills events, Germany, Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Switzerland and Sweden will provide two cαndidates under 25 years σld. Among them, the medalists of the last European Young Riders team championships, the Belgian Jules van Hoydonck ( 21 years old – silver medalist ) and the British Claudia Moore ( 19 years old – bronze medalist ), or the Irishman Coen Williams ( 18 years old ), reigning European Junior team champion. France, which placed third in the most important event last year, will rely on Jules Orsolini ( FRA ) and Wiliam Ligier de la Prade ( FRA ), who compete regularly side-by-side during the Young Riders Nations Cups. Hermès’s skill tests frequently provide an opportunity to realize fantastic family adventures. This year, Mathieu Guéry ( BEL), 19 years old, and Matias Larocca ( ARG ), 25 years old, will also be present to defend the colors of their countries, while their fathers will appear at the start of the CSI 5*.
