The Figaro Letter of May 29, 2020

Hello dear readers,

"Freedom is the most difficult test that one can offer to a people," wrote Paul Valéry. That's good, we will again take this test from Tuesday. The Prime Minister has ended the 100 km rule and bars, restaurants and museums will reopen. Finally !

Two great committed personalities - not quite on the same political line - died on Thursday: the humorist Guy Bedos and the LR mayor of the 16th arrondissement of Paris, Claude Goasguen. Le Figaro retraces their journey.

Have a nice day and a great Pentecost weekend. I'm coming back on Tuesday.

But no way
