Thimeo, he made the express trip from Toulouse (Haute-Garonne) to participate. He’s aiming for the top 10. “I’ll see how it goes with all the participants”he says.
Objective ? Guinness Book
From 7 o’clock in the morning, the entire organization team was on deck to prepare the three 20-minute dictations that will follow one another. “The objective is not to reconcile them, but to make them love, learn or tame spelling”, specifies Antoine Jamet, presidenttooth of the Champs-Elysées committee. The goal is to register the record in the Guinness Book. To avoid cheating, a team will be deployed to monitor.
