In February 1982, Hervé Paraut had broken down, full of nerves, the doors ofand Eco Republican for a test transformed thanks to a beautiful snapshot of a penalty saved, on the Lèves football field. A little more than forty years later, an entire professional life dedicated to the newspaper as a photojournalist then as head of the sports department, for sixteen years, this pure Beauceron has come full circle, this Friday December 16th.
Camera around his neck, it is in the Halle Jean-Cochet, whose inauguration he had experienced in 1991, one of the countless events of all kinds covered by the department and well beyond, that he made his final report: the Starligue C match ‘Chartres MHB – Dunkirk.
On this occasion, the leaders of the Chartres club had given him a pleasant surprise gift with the delivery of a shirt, merged in his name, by the president Steeve Baron. A few hours earlier, right inside the newspaper premises, Hervé had earned applause for his last day of work.
Officially retired on January 1, 2023, the family man will be able to devote more time to his two grandchildren and open a new chapter than any other The republican echo wishes him as dense and fulfilling as possible. It is full of projects. But let’s not get past it, you’ll see it hanging out in the stadiums and sports halls of the Chartres conurbation. And this time, just as a fan…
Thanks for everything, Hervé!
