DAY 3. BUSINESS PROMOTION VISIT IN PARIS

9th October

It has been some really amazing days already for the Crown Prince Couple and for the rest of us following them on they visit in Paris. From October 7-9th the couple has been staying in Paris along with a Danish business delegation. The promotion visit was all about sharing ideas and knowledge about healthcare and energy.

Wednesday morning Crown Prince Frederik started the day by visiting Station F.  It is a campus for entrepreneurship. Here tech-companies are gathered to discuss development and realization of future projects. He was given a guided tour by Xavier Niel, the founder of Station F. Later on he visited the French Ministry of Economy and Finance.

While the Crown Prince, his wife payed a visit to a very special lady - Mrs. Brigitte Macron. The meeting took place at Lycée Lamartine (a school of general and technological education). One thing unique about the school is that it teaches Danish. So if any of you would like to learn Danish Lamartine is the place to go. Mrs. Macron and Crown Princess Mary have met before and it seems like the two of them are getting along really well. Anyway, it seems like they enjoyed each others company visiting Lycée Lamartine. The Danish Girls Choir, who entertained the previous night at the City Hall, had also found their way to the French school.

A while ago it was announced that Crown Princess Mary was going to Morocco to attend the Youth Innovation Summit 2019 in Rabat. This is why she flew to Morocco on October 3rd. She was about to stay for two days. On the first day she attended a seminar followed by a dinner with 100 talented young people who have been trying to figure out solutions to some of Morocco's biggest social and economic challenges, here.

October 4th started with a morning run because exercise happens to be one of the best ways to encourage Moroccan young people in a sustainable agenda in. So Crown Princess Mary had replaced her floral dress from the previous day with running tights and a cap. The morning exercise took place in Park Hassan II which was also as part of the opening of Youth Dialogue Festival - an event based on dialogue and talk about sustainable development and how to encourage young people in the debate.

She was in a great spirit leading the large group of runners. The Crown Princess was one big smile and happy eyes participating the morning run in Park Hassan II in Rabat. What a wonderful way to kick off her last day in Morocco.
