This has to be the ugliest thing I have ever seen in my life!!! Even worse then the world cup of hockey trophy.

I'm looking for a shot of the actual thing but it seems like nobody wants to be seen with this thing and i dont blame them

Worst thing : an "artist" was probably paid an outrageous sum of money to design the thing. I just knew I was in the wrong business.

I guess that I am glad that Clermont Foot was relegated so they do not have to play for that!

There weren't any trophies for championship victories untill recently. And they decided to innovate...

the Ligue 1 is awful as well. They have to find some decent looking trophies...or just give them a woman.
(Wait till Iougs sees this mess ;) )

France is some sort of heaven for all the conceptual-post-neo-modern artists through the world, who come here and rapidly become millionaires. If you want to become a rich man, just go out the plane at Charles-de-Gaulle and say things Salvadore-Dali-like : "moâ croirre artist doâ rrrrévéler rrréalité conceptuâale du môônde, au delâ du substrâât abstrâctif de la pâronômââââse psycho-societâllle duuu intêêrrrscrript". You'll probably get a medal and 750 000 € of public funds, even before they check your identity.
Buren made millions with pyjamas stripes, and Christo the same with wrapping papers and sellotape. If you're a movie director, make it the most boringly pretentious you can imagine. If you're a musician or theatre actor, it's paramount to have no audience whatsoever. If you're a writer, go for the most basic, ugly and obscenely pornographic stuff, written in nearly illiterate manner, and pretend it's neo-something.
We call this "exception culturelle", and we're all really proud of that.

And no jokes, they really became millionaires in France with that kind of things. When do we start ?
In comparison, the ligue 2 trophy is nothing.

Oh my God! I'm giving up subbuteo and soccer and becoming a French artist. My mom's last name was Reynaud... Panic Reynaud...
Reynaud Panic... yeah, that's got a ring to it.
I could paint a canvas blue, with a slightly different shade of blue in the corner... "Nightime in Lyon"
Oh yeah, I think I've got something with this. Oh man... I want to be an artist.
Oh man!!!
Vive la France!
