Perhaps we saw a potential Olympic champion evolve in Le Havre last weekend. Perhaps among these swordsmen in the M17 category (under 17), competing for the title of champion of France, are the future Philippe Boisse, Laura Flessel or Romain Cannone. In a country where the musketeers, whatever their number, as well as Cyrano de Bergerac occupy a good place in the collective imagination, the regular success of French fencers at the highest level is no coincidence.
