Our town and its prestigious Ecole des Mines has just welcomed 1300 students from all over Europe and from other schools of the French Mines. This annual event was created in 1962 on the initiative of the Ecole des Mines de Paris. Since Thursday and the welcome at the Place de l'Hôtel de Ville for all the students, Sainté has been able to vibrate with this youth with a full head. The Cartel is first and foremost a sporting competition that allows you to wear your school's colours high! The nights were lively, warm and short and the days were very physical as well.
