Miss France takes the height! As the official start of Roland-Garros approaches, the former beauty queen Maëva Coucke was seen several tens of meters high in the new attraction of the prestigious tennis tournament. Not really worried about vertigo, the young woman took advantage of the breathtaking view of Paris.
Miss France 2018 was lovely on Tuesday in a beige and white dress split at the thigh and leaving her shoulders exposed. Present to test the novelties of the village of Roland-Garros, the 27-year-old Northerner took her place in a basket which took her 50 meters high to admire Paris. An experience called Entre Ciel et Terre and which is appearing for the very first time at Porte d’Auteuil.
Maëva Coucke was accompanied by the famous eccentric tennis player Mansour Barhami as well as Gilles Moretton the president of the French Tennis Federation. Guests had the chance to sip a glass of champagne in this fantastic setting. Feet in the void, they also took the opportunity to take many selfies, which they then shared with their followers on social networks (see slideshow).
Questioned by our colleagues from 20 minutesthe federation’s communication director Sarah Pitkowski explained the choice to invest in this type of project: “We want to convey more clearly the values of the tournament, namely elegance, audacity and fighting spirit. From the sky, it is perhaps the best way to see this Roland-Garros space and this unique panorama, so you have to climb very high However, an opening to the general public is not on the agenda.
The Roland-Garros tournament will begin on May 22 with brand new ambitions carried by its new director, the ex-champion Amélie Mauresmo, the first woman chosen for this position (although she notices her a little tired). On the courts unfortunately, the tricolor clan will have to do without its headliner since Gaël Monfils has withdrawn.
