This Wednesday, August 28, is the big day for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. The opening ceremony will start at 8 p.m., with a parade on the Champs-Elysées and the Place de la Concorde. A ceremony once again imagined by Thomas Jolly, who wants to erase the distinctions between able-bodied and disabled people.
Two weeks after the assault of a doctor in her Marseille office, ten unions in the profession are calling for emergency security measures. Among the avenues proposed: setting up an “alert button” in the event of an assault, prioritizing calls from offices to the police, or increasing the price of consultations to be able to recruit and have an additional presence in the office.
On the occasion of the 180th anniversary of the first publication of the Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, for each cinema ticket purchased for the eponymous film, one euro will be donated to the NGO Libraries Without Borders. Two months after its release, the film by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière with Pierre Niney, still scheduled, has achieved nearly 7 million admissions.
