"Mail Ladies" behind the scenes
We call it the the nomad la Poste tent. A large Berber tent, "La Poste yellow" in colour, bridging the gap between the Gazelles and their families. In the tent: cushions, two computers and two telephones that the competitors can use to contact their loved ones with disposable calling cards.
Nathalie and Alexandra, postal workers, have the job of printing all of the email received by the Gazelles every day, "on A5 paper, double sided. To save paper!"
And the mailbag is heavy: last year 10,000 email messages were printed in ten days!
But the record for the number of emails received in one day is held by the nomad La Poste tent's "mail ladies" themselves. Family, friends, to your keyboards: the record to beat is 68 messages in a day!
