Last competition of my life in Paris

I was watching some old posts and I realized that as usual I go to Paris in March.

That time was to attend a competition to work for the French Foreign Ministry, I failed it last year for one examination. My overall feeling this year is that I will not fail for one examination, if I do, it would be that my average grade would not be sufficient enough to go to the Oral in June.

I had the feeling that the examination were easier than the year before. Anyway, time will say.
I'm still waiting for the results of the European Commission competition I attended in January, it is going to happen shortly...

The Obelisk & Eiffel Tower
The Obelisk in the Place de la Concorde is from the Luxor temple in Egypt. It was a gift from the Egyptian Viceroy to Charles X. It was moved from Luxor to its new Parisian home in 1833.


The National Assembly is located in the Palais-Bourbon, across the Seine from the Place de la Concorde. The palace was built as a private residence in 1722, was later bought by King Louis XV, and changed hands several more times until the government reacquired it and converted it to legislative use in 1827.
"It is also the place were MEP's sleep more than they speak"

Uni Rugby International Tournament 2008

This time, the last event of the season took place in St-Estève (PO).


It was a windy & cold day, as usual the competition was among Perpignan VS Girona VS Montpellier university teams.
