Cette photo, issue du diapo de Mediapart, est hallucinante. Crédit Maximilien Lamy / @afp.com Légende : des baigneurs assis sur la plage du Moutchic à Lacanau, dans le sud-ouest de la France, le 24 juillet 2026, alors que des panaches de fumée s'élèvent dans le ciel en raison d'un feu de forêt.

Enough of this already.

Happy Bastille Day! 🇨🇵 I'm genuinely saddened by the disgusting comments I keep hearing about this French team. Players from different backgrounds, with different stories and experiences, born in France, all proudly French. France is diversity, whether they like it or not.
