Enter a pocket-sized red book known as the Michelin Guide. As a result, more French people had a desire to tour the country, making the Michelin Guide increasingly essential. The Michelin Guide now covers over 30,000 restaurants across three continents and more than 30 million guides have been sold. Addison is one of 13 three-star Michelin restaurants in the US and the only one in all of Southern California.

But while Rose's departure means Europe's 25 biggest banks by assets are still 96% male-run, an analysis by Reuters has found that broader executive management teams have become slightly more balanced since last year. Top management teams at Europe's largest lenders are now 30.6% female, data compiled by Reuters shows, up from 25.6% for the same group of banks in early 2022. Reuters GraphicsAcross the broader financial services sector, however, a recent study by EY found that hiring of women at board of directors level in Europe had actually dipped. Companies appointed women to 44% of board openings in the 12 months through June 2023, down from 52% during the previous year. The overall gender split has nevertheless improved to 43% female and 57% male on the boards of European financial firms, EY found, from a 37%/63% split a year ago.

CNN —Jonas Vingegaard sealed his second consecutive Tour de France victory on the cobblestones of the Champs-Élysées in Paris on Sunday. Meanwhile, Belgium’s Jordi Meeus won the final, largely processional stage, on the Champs-Élysées, denying his compatriot Jasper Philipsen a fifth stage victory in this year’s race. From that moment, Vingegaard seemed assured of his yellow jersey and he navigated the remaining three stages without much difficulty. Ultimately, he finished 7:29 ahead of Pogačar in second, and 10:56 ahead of Britain’s Adam Yates in third. Michael Steele/Getty ImagesAs the men’s race finishes, the women’s race begins and Belgium’s Lotte Kopecky won the first stage of the Tour de France Femmes, held earlier in the day in Clermont-Ferrand.

Feb 25 (Reuters) - Sweden's Armand Duplantis broke his own pole vault world record on Saturday, clearing 6.22 metres to add one centimetre to his previous mark at the World Athletics Indoor Tour Silver meeting in Clermont-Ferrand, France. He had barely touched the mat before a spray of sparklers went off and meet director Renaud Lavillenie, the Olympic champion in 2012, ran to embrace him. Duplantis had the competition won already when he cleared 6.01 metres on the first try, as Australian Kurtis Marschall finished second with a 5.91 metres leap while the Netherlands' Menno Vloon took third. Duplantis set the previous record on his way to winning gold at the World Championships in Eugene, Oregon, in July.

Militarii au fost împuşcaţi de un bărbat de 48 de ani după ce au venit în ajutorul unei femei care se refugiase pe acoperişul unei case, în apropiere de satul Saint-Just din regiunea Clermont-Ferrand.La puţin timp după miezul nopţii, doi dintre jandarmi au fost vizaţi de tiruri cu armă de foc când au încercat să se apropie de casa unde se refugiase femeia ameninţată. Unul dintre ei a murit în urma rănilor suferite, iar al doilea, rănit la picior, a fost transportat la spital de pompieri.Ulterior, bărbatul şi-a incendiat casa şi a tras din nou asupra jandarmilor prezenţi la faţa locului, făcând încă două victime în rândul militarilor, a confirmat pentru AFP parchetul din Clermont-Ferrand. Femeia se află în prezent în siguranţă, a precizat parchetul.O sursă apropiată de anchetă a menţionat pentru France Presse că la faţa locului se află cel puţin şapte membri ai forţelor speciale din GIGN (unitatea de elită a jandarmeriei naţionale) şi că se intervine "cu cea mai mare precauţie având în vedere periculozitatea individului".Autorul tirurilor ar fi cunoscut pentru probleme legate de custodia minorilor.

Nicolas Ferrand, directorul executiv al Solideo – compania franceză de stat care se ocupă de șantierele pentru Paris 2024 –, a declarat că situația economică de criză cauzată de COVID-19 este „un subiect, dar nu o problemă”, Solideo urmând să lucreze, din februarie 2021, cu peste 10 000 de angajați. Solideo are în plan să construiască 62 de arene pentru Jocuri în capitala Franței. Planul actualizat va fi transmis către Comitetul Internațional Olimpic pentru a putea fi analizat de Comitetului Executiv CIO în cadrul ședinței sale din decembrie.
