“Thank you very much for being here”: Barack Obama, in sales representative for renewable energies… at La Défense

Six bodyguards with large arms and visible earpieces were installed at the foot of the stage.

A sign that his arrival is imminent.

A hubbub and thunderous applause accompanied Barack Obama's entrance on stage.

Then with a single “good evening” spoken in French, and a “thank you very much for being here”, the former President of the United States brought the room on board.

Star guest of the PowR Earth Summit organized in La Défense and whose objective is to promote renewable energies, the former guest of the White House felt at home in front of an audience of business leaders, scientists, politicians came to listen to his good word.

Like a true showman, Obama multiplied the anecdotes behind the scenes of the climate conferences in which he participated, the kind words and life lessons shared with his daughters Sacha and Malia.
