New Year’s Eve in Copacabana is an amazing experience! Two millions persons were there this year and with the beach, the sea, the huge fireworks and the huge concerts you can imagine that it was a great night and you might want to check out the photos!
The visit of my friend Jordan was a good excuse to go to the pre-carnaval party at the Escola de Samba de Mangueira near the Maracana. One of the biggest samba school in Rio and that night was really packed with people and loud music.
I created the group “Les Sportifs de Rio” in 2015 in order to prepare the French community for the 2016 Olympics. The idea was to organize various events with all the people interested in sport in Rio, to create links between them and to prepare them for the Games by distributing “Esprit Bleu” t-shirts and buying tickets together. The following is a selection of photos from these events.
For the second time this year we went for a nice weekend in Buzios, a coastal city four hours away from Rio. The beaches and atmosphere are really great over there and we had an amazing time with the group of friends.
The visit of my friends Xavier and Larissa was a great opportunity to organize a Handball firendly game as they were in Rio with lots of other friends from France. And as it’s often the case during these friendly games we really a great time on and off the court.
It’s always sad to see good friends leaving but it’s always a good opportunity to have a big party and this one was really nice and memorable. From a nice rooftop party in Ipanema all the way to a crazy breakfast in Botafogo. A great party with great friends!
Yet another great weekend with friends and this time the destination was Petropolis, the “Imperial City of Brazil” with nice walks around the city center, nice trails around the Serra dos Orgaos and nice beers at the Bohemia Brewery.
