To mock and laugh, to the greatest pleasure of the public, they made ironic comments about the progress of the Paris Olympic Games.
During a concert in Bordeaux in January, broadcast this Friday by TF1, the Enfoirés troupe celebrated its 35th anniversary.
On a cover of the song “Heal the World” by Michael Jackson, she gently made fun of the tumult and agitation which should animate the capital next summer.
“The Olympics, stuck in the metro”, “It’s going to be a mess all summer” or “We’re going to live through hell”, sang Patrick Fiori on stage, accompanied by Michaël Youn, disguised as a bearer of the Olympic flame.
The two men also criticized the price of the tickets: “You had to go into debt to buy just one small ticket”, “More than a thousand euros for taekwondo”, “This summer in Paris, the hotels are overpriced , I rented my studio for 14,000 euros.”
I think it's one of the best sketches in the entire history of enfoires #LesEnfoires

Everything took place against the backdrop of an Olympic setting, with the Eiffel Tower displayed on the screen and the Olympic rings transformed into squares.
The audience seemed particularly amused by this performance and the extract quickly circulated on social networks where it was also well received.

Within the Enfoirés troupe, several athletes participated in the show, such as Esteban Ocon, Sébastien Chabal and Antoine Dupont.
The Frenchman, who will be at the Olympics with the French rugby sevens team, was also cited by his evening partners.
For them, he is… France's “only chance of a medal” next summer.
