The news of TF1 transformed the city of Auch into "Hoche". - Screenshot TF1

According to our information, General Lazare Hoche, eminent soldier of the French Revolution born in Versailles and died in present-day Germany, has never set foot in Auch, prefecture of Gers. What to feed even more the incomprehension of many televiewers, riveted Monday in front of the news of 8 pm of TF1.

The dumpling appeared during a report on the next school year in these times of Covid-19. Intervening in "video", Benjamin Paul was presented on the screen as "principal of the high school Le Garros in Hoche". Some Gers residents, or simple sympathizers of the Gascon cause, spat out their confit.

With TF1, last week we were the Auchois.
A few years ago, we would have called ourselves the Football Club Auchois ...
Yesterday evening, we discovered that we lived in Hoche ...
We are therefore the Rugby Club Hoche! ... #WeSachons # TF1 #NoComment pic.twitter. com / RsFoD0bGLx

Rugby Club Auch (previously named FC Auch), now in Federal 1, wielded irony on Twitter: “With TF1, last week we were the Auchois. A few years ago then we would have called ourselves the Football Club Auchois… Yesterday evening, we discovered that we lived in Hoche… We are therefore the Rugby Club Hoche! "

As a reminder, the inhabitants of the city of birth of the former mentor of the XV of France Jacques Fouroux and the cook André Daguin are called the Auscitains. Obviously, this error gave grain to grind to the provinces convinced of the contempt manifested according to them by the Parisian media for any parcel of the territory located beyond the ring road and, by extension, for the people who live there. As for the cause of this astonishing confusion, it remains unexplained at this time.
