Aurore Bergé, animal friend, Paul-Loup Chatin at the 24 Hours of Daytona, the future of the Chartres-Orléans line … the indiscretions of the weekend

Rutilant!

The Eurelian driver Paul-Loup Chatin is preparing to take part, for the first time in his career, at the 24 Hours of Daytona, in the United States, on January 30 and 31. And he will do it behind the wheel of a car with a very special decoration. It was produced by a 6 year old child named Owen, who lives in Ottawa (Canada). He won a contest in which his father had entered him during confinement. Something promised, something due, the Era Motorsport team has reproduced its design on the body of the Oreca 07 which will line up at the end of January at the start of the legendary event. Of course, Paul-Loup Chatin will not go unnoticed in Florida!

Chartres-Orléans on the rails?

The Center-Val de Loire Region has requested that the reopening of the Voves-Orléans rail link to passenger traffic be included in the future State-Region plan contract. This was announced by Philippe Fournié (EE-LV), vice-president of the Region responsible for transport, during a recent trip to Chartres station. Four years after passenger trains were put back into service on the Chartres-Voves line, the project to link Chartres and Orléans again by train is therefore not buried. It remains to be seen whether the State will be ready to put its hand in the wallet, to participate in the financing of a project of this magnitude.

Visiting the Brigitte Bardot Foundation, in Bazoches-sur-Guyonne, she confided that the association is not for nothing in its commitment: “My grandmother, a donor member of the Foundation, transmitted this passion to me. animals. And my parents adopted a dog from the Brigitte Bardot Foundation. ”
