L' #UNRWA doit pouvoir poursuivre son travail vital au service des réfugiés palestiniens. La France apportera une aide d’urgence supplémentaire de 2 millions d’euros en 2018. En 2019, elle doublera sa contribution, qui sera portée à 20 millions d'euros. @francediplo @franceonu

Ce n'est pas tous les jours qu'on fait la Une de @LesEchos 🙂 ! "Satellites: l'Europe contre-attaque face aux Américains" (Et c'est bien l'enjeu en effet: que les Européens restent dans la course des constellations, grâce aux grands atouts qui sont déjà les leurs). #fier #d éfi

A chacun sa #rentree ! Heureux de retrouver de nombreux collègues du Quai à la #ConfAmbass , à l'occasion du discours du Président. Et très sensible à cette association des diplos #mobiles en entreprise, qui montre aussi que la diplomatie économique, c'est une réalité !

Throughout my 4 years in Jordan, the RJAF has been an outstanding partner for 🇨🇵 and @Armee_de_lair in particular. All my gratitude to Maj. Gen. Al Huneiti. La France sait qu'elle a avec les Forces aériennes royales 🇯🇴 un partenaire de confiance et d'un grand professionnalisme.

My colleagues at @FranceJordanie often make fun of me because I never miss an opportunity to hunt for #old stones or a ruined #castle . Here's a nice one to add to the list: Qasr Usaykhim overlooks the black Eastern #desert . Crisp air & sweeping vistas this morning. #RomanEmpire

The appeal to return to the #DeadSea was too strong. Hot water and hot temperature today in Wadi Daba , which exhibits some beautiful waterfalls. Quite some climbing involved but more great memories of Jordanian #nature formed. #watersports #adventuretravel #LoveJO @LinaAnnab

With the rainy season coming closer, it will soon be the end of the #wadi hikes. Today I went to Wadi Himara with its spectacular, tall waterfall at the end. #DeadSea #adventuretravel #hiking #LoveJO

#streetart [1/3] Like last year, I could not resist jumping on the boom lift and spraying a wall on Istiqlal St with 🇫🇷 artist DIRE for the #Baladk festival. That's also for a good cause: to make the point that the future Amman #BRT will be safe, reliable and #women -friendly.

One week has passed already at @Eutelsat_SA ! Lots of new and fascinating things learned on #space and #connectivity . Meanwhile, there are things that do not change: @LaTourEiffel is still in my sights, although slightly more remote than from my previous window.

Terrible nouvelle en provenance du Mali. Profonde tristesse ce matin. Pensées émues pour les familles de nos militaires qui viennent de perdre la vie en opérations et pour leurs frères d'armes là-bas et ailleurs dans le monde.

I thank #EcoHikers for their interest in the #DeGaulle forest near #Jerash . I was glad to take part in the cleaning with them. There has to be a cultural change to keep natural spaces #clean . Please collect your garbage instead of throwing it in the open! @nalfayez @LinaAnnab

In #Madaba this morning to open a training session on #Decentralisation supported by @FranceJordanie . I know some are still sceptical but this is a very important #reform to bring decision-making closer to the citizens and encourage political engagement. #مأدبا #اللامركزية
