320 flags and 3,000 archers paraded through the streets of Soissons in the afternoon and attended a mass at the Soissons Cathedral, celebrated by the Grand Master of Archery and the Order of Saint Sebastian of Soissons.
Before the parade, Madame the Sub-Prefect, on behalf of the President of the Republic, presented the Vase of the Presidency as
a reward for the de Bouquet champion.
On behalf of all those present at this event, we thank the Captain of the Soissons Archery Company and their knights and archers, the
Mayor of the City of Soissons and Mr. Thierry de France (FFTA), for their invitation and welcome.
Congratulations to all!
