FANTASY

Who is the most pontifical President of France?

It's all very nice... Being the most athletic president in France can be achieved with a little training.

Mr. Louis Bozonnet cycles, runs, jumps, throws, walks (that of the Allobroges, no doubt!), skis, mountaineers, etc.
His most serious rival, Mr. Marcel Michelin knows how to “do it” in the same sports plus golf, automobiles and spherical ball. Fortunately, they don't practice fencing. neither, and they ignore the gun. This will exempt them from competing for first place in our competition at first blood or at fifteen paces “fire at will”. But enough of the joke!...

Don't we all practice the same sports as these two gentlemen? With one or two exceptions, of course, because we don't always have at hand or underfoot a mountain with snow, a link, a spherical balloon or a 40 CV...

I know others who, to be among the most sporting presidents of France, all they need is a club and their presidential chair... But all that is childishness.

As if it were necessary for a president to be “the most sporty in France”!...

Isn't it more interesting to look for the "most Pontiff President" of France?... That's a good job!

Which president has presided over the most banquets, paid for the most aperitifs, delivered the most speeches and... paid the most allowances, achieved the most success in struggles on the green carpet (c 'is much more cottony than triumphing on a ground!); which president has the most decorative belly, the best decorated buttonhole, the best budget for personal advertising, the most exclusive luxury hen (yes the most sour, as you wish!)...

This is the true club president, the most deserving, the best in “the skin of his character”... Does a Sports President exist next to such a man?...

Gustave Milet.

Who is the most pontifical President of France?   is it necessary for a president to be "the most sporty in France"!
