In short, so many wonderful people around Jean-François to remember some beautiful rugby and tennis memories.
And there is enough to write a book on the Soubrié family, with father Jean-François, who, when he presided over the destiny of Carmausin rugby, did not hesitate to make a few “rants”, in our columns, to respond to “useless controversies” and above all defend tooth and nail his club and its red and green jersey.
And of course Charlotte, the daughter, whose father speaks with a lot of love and it must be said, a lot of emotion in his eyes and his heart: “Charlotte is an international padel player. She has just finished 3rd in the European Championships in Sardinia, with the French team, and obtained his wild card for the Greenweez Paris Major Premier Padel, the most prestigious in the world.
Jean-François and his friends continued to recount their memories around a glass of friendship, before the next tennis match.
