It almost feels like being in Évry (Essonne).
Number 24, the building door, the intercom, the 43 x 43 centimeter square that materializes the famous skylight.
The small window of the garbage room at 24, rue Jules-Vallès in the Pyramides district is now a concept that can be exported.
The inhabitants at the origin of the game have decided to relocate the "most famous window in Europe" by stopping this Saturday, in Poissy.
But what was supposed to be the only date in the Yvelines will not be one because the departmental council has reserved ten additional stages.
Whistles, shouts, music… Place de la République came alive with the “Lucarne Tour”.
Several residents have tried to send a soccer ball through a small window to represent their city on the occasion of the grand final, which will be organized on July 2 in Évry-Courcouronnes.
Walid, 22, tried his luck.
"I admit, I was under pressure, there are a few people anyway," breathes the host of the André-Malraux center.
After a first failure, this amateur footballer generated a wave of splinters during his second shot.
"I'm happy, it's really euphoria you feel when you put the ball".
Alban Ivanov misses the target
Originally from Versailles (Yvelines), the humorist Alban Ivanov also lent himself to the game. It must be said that he had “roomed” the mayor Karl Olive well after his exploit in Essonne.
“He saw my skylight, he gave me a room, I told him to come, he accepted,” smiles the chosen one (DVD) who witnessed the failure of his guest.
“I shit on myself”, launched before his first shot the one who failed to become a professional footballer in his youth, as he says in one of his sketches.
After several unsuccessful attempts, the comedian did not hesitate to point the finger at "the ground is not straight in Poissy".

The afternoon continued in a light and good-natured atmosphere with the presence of several families, many young people and a few retirees.
“Behind this game, there is really a notion of fraternity and solidarity, loose Djibril alias “Gaye the old”, one of the organizers.
We wanted to relocate it to transmit these values and create encounters.

150 offers offered to young people at the employment village
A point of view shared by the mayor of Poissy.
"We need to smile, we need not to take ourselves seriously and that's what we did this afternoon with the skylight", underlines Karl Olive, who praises the intergenerational aspect.
“I see lots of smiles and people laughing,” enthuses the elected official, who paid 7,000 euros to host the event.
He took the opportunity to set up an employment village.
The presence of a dozen companies, the local inter-municipal mission and Pôle emploi has thus made it possible to offer nearly 150 offers to young people in the city.
