Argentine Polo in Paris...

Under a grey and rainy sky, a Polo match was held this afternoon at the Marus Sanctus field, just outside of Paris.
The French have always been huge fans of watching and playing Polo. And, of course, the Argentine players, considered the best in the world, are well-received in this country to play and teach the secrets of such an elegant and elitist sport.
Today, Patrick Guerrand Hermès's team, La Palmeraie, faced La Bamba de Areco.
As special guests among the players were the Pieres brothers, Facundo and Gonzalo, both with a handicap of 10. Also Lucas Monteverde, Francisco Bensadón and Facundo Sola, with handicaps between 9 and 6.
The cup at stake honored Mathias Guerrand-Hermès, who died too young a little more than a year ago and a great Polo lover, as also his father Patrick.
Each of us could help with a contribution to benefit the Coronel Moldes Hospital in Córdoba.
Between the downpours and the rays of sun, which came out randomly, and with a crowd happy to see such Polo stars, the match was fantastic. As it was expected.
Once again, the bonds between Argentina and France proved to be stronger than ever...
