Bruno Maquart is sidelined from the presidency of Universcience: a bad omen for the Palais de la Découverte...whose reopening, initially scheduled for June 11, has been postponed indefinitely... "Bruno Maquart was carrying the project of two separate establishments. His dismissal likely means that the next president will be tasked with geographically merging the two museums [with the risk of implementing the disappearance of the Palais de la Découverte in the eighth arrondissement of Paris, and thus its effective disappearance...] While, according to Rachida Dati, Minister of Culture: "the question of scientific culture in France is not a question of location but a question of vision and project"...

"Any motorcycle, motor tricycle or quadricycle, moped, or motorized agricultural or forestry vehicle attached to an agricultural or forestry operation, an agricultural works company, or an agricultural equipment cooperative may display only one license plate, prominently and permanently affixed to the rear of the vehicle."

The Highway Code: Section 2: Plaques and inscriptions. (Articles R317-8 to R317-14-1)

Reminder: Each plate must be maintained in a state of repair that allows the reading of inscriptions it contains.

The magistrate convicted of using false license plates did not retain his criminal law courses

List pleasure boats Will the law on pleasure boating help combat drug trafficking? MP Olivier Falorni (Les Démocrates) has tabled an amendment aimed at lifting the anonymity of pleasure boaters, an amendment prepared with the La Rochelle prosecutor's office and the Charente-Maritime prefecture... This has sparked discontent among the diverse left-wing mayor Jean-Yves Fountaine, a sailor and founder of the Fountaine-Pajot boatbuilding group. He sees this measure as a deprivation of sailors' freedom of movement: "If, unfortunately, pleasure boaters were to have this obligation tomorrow, it would be a case of registering the 8 million people who practice pleasure boating. We're walking a bit on our heads." —Or on the water?— Jean-François Fountaine, who resigned from his position as mayor on June 6th.
