The young Nîmes resident eliminated from the show The Voice Kids

#NÎMES This Saturday, August 17, in prime time on TF1, Timothé Combaluzier Daguenet defended his place in the show The Voice Kids with the song by Jacques Brel, “La Quête”.

Drowned near the Devil's Bridge

#HÉRAULT A tragedy occurred this Sunday, August 18, in the Hérault gorges near the Devil's Bridge in Saint-Jean-de-Fos. A 24-year-old did not come out alive from his last jump into the river in the middle of the afternoon. He did not jump from the famous Devil's Bridge but from a nearby rock according to initial reports.

He apparently came out after his jump and then drowned in this rather deep part of the Hérault. Alerted by his friends, the firefighters who called in the Dragon 34 were unable to resuscitate him. They could only confirm his death.

The new life of Miss Languedoc

#AUDEOn August 10, in Beaucaire, Jade Benazech from Aude was elected Miss Languedoc. Since her election, Jade's life has changed. The number of her followers on social networks has exploded and she receives many messages. “I'm a little upset. I don't know how to handle all this yet”, she told our colleague L'Indépendant. Sport plays a big part in her life. “My mother played handball and my father was a professional rugby player. I have always been interested in sports, especially rugby."
While her future seems all mapped out – "I want to become an operating room nurse, I would also like to work in a nursing home and in the emergency room"-, the experience of Miss Languedoc gradually gives her confidence back, after the school bullying she suffered. If she becomes Miss France, her ambition goes beyond borders. “I would like to get involved in projects to help vulnerable people in Africa. My mother ran an association for abandoned children there, Les enfants d'abord.“
