The Letter from Figaro of August 4, 2020

2020-08-04T05:07:18.395Z


In this summer letter: the timid recovery of the sports world in the face of Covid-19, Erdogan the conqueror in the Greek islands and the love of Benjamin Constant for Germaine de Staël.


Dear subscribers, hello

The charm of the Tour de France. Its share of sports comments, supporters and curious people gathered on both sides of the peloton who were watching on their television set or on the screen of a hotel, restaurant or shop, others supporters, others curious, comfortably installed in the cozy July bed.

This year, the happy nostalgia that invades those who are passionate about racing - like Philippe Delerm - or those who are content to observe it from afar with a smile, will emerge in September. Admittedly the news does not date from today but we must continue to rejoice, because the world of sport is still advancing in a balancing act above the Covid-19 and its threatening "second wave".

Good reading,

Rozenn Morgat, journalist at Le Figaro
