Former President of the United States Barack Obama enjoyed a discreet round of golf this Wednesday afternoon on the prestigious national site of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, in Guyancourt. Visiting Paris this week for the PowR Earth summit on renewable energies in La Défense (Hauts-de-Seine), the arrival of the 44th President does not surprise Jean-Michel Fourgous, mayor of Élancourt and president of the agglomeration.

“Barack Obama is a real golfer who loves challenges, and we have one of the most difficult golf courses in the world, 30 minutes from Paris without a red light,” boasts the mayor.
