    Michel Aimé Pouget & Malbec.




    Malbec World Day is an annual observance celebrated on April 17, to commemorate the day on which President Domingo Faustino Sarmiento of Argentina officially made it his mission to transform Argentina's wine industry. On April 17, 1853, Sarmiento tasked Michel Aimé Pouget, a French soil expert, to bring new vines to Argentina. Among the varietals Pouget brought was Malbec.




    Pouget continued experimenting with the adaptation of French varietals to Argentina's diverse terroirs. A decade later, the Great French Wine Blight affected the Rhône region. Meanwhile, Malbec flourished in Argentina creating wines highly superior to those of its country of origin. The name "Malbec World Day" translates from the Spanish "Día Mundial del Malbec," meaning "Malbec throughout the world". The name stuck and continues to confuse English speakers to this day, as most refer to it "World Malbec Day" or "Malbec Mondo" for those who like the alliteration. In the meantime, Malbec flourished in Argentina, creating wines widely superior to those of its country of origin. Many decades later, in 1956, France faced another obstacle when a freeze wiped out the majority of Malbec vineyards.




    In the following years, specifically during the 1990s, Argentina positioned Malbec as their star varietal. More than 10,000 acres were planted and it became the undeniable leader of the country's exportations.




    Nowadays, more than 60 cities around the world (coordinated by the Foreign Affairs Office of Argentina) host events around Malbec, Argentine food and lifestyle. Each year, a theme is created to link Malbec and Argentine culture. This framework allows every celebration to be creative and adapt to each country's idiosyncrasy. Malbec was first planted in France, then reached its highest point of development in Argentina and is currently travelling the world over to manifest itself as one of the key players in the international wine industry.

    Sorry for the late reply.

    It's not directly related to French immigration even though many architects were French or Belgian. Art Nouveau is not only an architectural movement that has spread in many countries.

    Military Presidents with french ancestry:

    Carlos Alberto Lacoste Guillot



    Carlos Alberto Lacoste (2 February 1929 – 24 June 2004) was an Argentine navy vice-admiral and politician who briefly served as interim President of Argentina.

    Earlier years
    In addition to a naval career, Lacoste undertook the organization of the 1978 FIFA World Cup, hosted by Argentina.

    Interim President of Argentina
    In December 1981 the then head of state General Roberto Viola was ousted in a coup d'état. Lacoste served as interim President of Argentina from 11 to 22 December 1981, during a period of military rule.

    He was succeeded in the presidential office by Lieutenant General Leopoldo Galtieri.

    Later years
    After the military government, he preserved his connections with football associations, becoming a South American representative in FIFA, and in 1986 he was assigned as Argentine supervisor in the drawing of that year's World Cup matches in Mexico, which was eventually won by Argentina.

    Alfredo Óscar Saint-Jean



    Alfredo Óscar Saint-Jean (8-11 November 1926 – 2 September 1987) was an Argentine Army division general and politician, who served as President of Argentina in 1982.

    Earlier Public Role
    Following the 1976 coup and the intervention of the Argentine military in public affairs during the National Reorganization Process, Alfredo Saint-Jean was one of the Generals who held senior roles. He served as Interior Minister from 1981, having been appointed by General Leopoldo Galtieri.

    President of Argentina
    He briefly served as President of Argentina from 18 June 1982 to 1 July 1982, during a period of military rule, after Galtieri was ousted from office owing to the country's defeat in the Falklands War.

    Succession
    Saint-Jean's brief period as President in June and July 1982 ended when he was succeeded by General Reynaldo Bignone.

    Amado Boudou




    Amado Boudou (born 19 November 1962) is an Argentine economist and politician who served as the Vice President of Argentina from 2011 to 2015. He previously served as Minister of Economy from 2009 to 2011.

    In August 2018, following a lengthy investigation, he was convicted of corruption. He was then sentenced to five years and ten months in prison, and banned for life from holding public office.

    Ancestry
    Two of Amado Boudou's great-grandparents, Frédéric Boudou and Eugénie Vernhes were French , originally from Durenque, in Aveyron . They emigrated in 1903 with their seven children to Pigüé where Clement Cabanettes moved to the end of the XIXth century a colony of a hundred people, all of Aveyron origin. The Rouergue-Pigüé association, chaired by Nathalie Auguy-Périé, former mayor of Saint-Côme-d'Olt, maintains permanent links between the people of Aveyron and the descendants of emigrants. The former Argentine vice-president still has family in Aveyron.

    Libertad Lamarque



    Libertad Lamarque (Spanish pronunciation: [liβeɾˈtað laˈmaɾke]; 24 November 1908 – 12 December 2000) was a Mexican-Argentine actress and singer, one of the icons of the Golden Age of Argentine and Mexican cinema. She achieved fame throughout Latin America, and became known as "La Novia de América" ("The Sweetheart of the Americas"). By the time she died in 2000, she had appeared in 65 films (21 filmed in Argentina, 45 in Mexico and one in Spain) and six soap operas, had recorded over 800 songs and had made innumerable theatrical appearances.

    Biography
    Libertad Lamarque was born in Rosario, Santa Fe Province, Argentina to Gaudencio Lamarque (1874-1947),[1] an Uruguayan of French descent, and a widow of Spanish origin, Josefa Bouza (1863-1932).[2] She was named Libertad (which means "Liberty") because at the time of her birth, her father, an anarchist, was imprisoned and pleading for release.[1]

    Early career
    At the age of 7, Lamarque won first prize in a stage competition,[3] and participated with a group of street singers that made tours of nearby cities.[4] In 1923, she appeared in her first professional role, the stage show Madre Tierra.[3]

    Her local acclaim convinced her parents that the family should relocate to Buenos Aires, where her chances of a career would be better. The family hung their hopes on a letter of introduction from a local journalist to the owner of the National Theatre, Pascual Carcavallo. It proved successful, as in 1926 Libertad was hired to sing in the choir and given a one-year contract. Her debut was in a play called La muchacha de Montmartre (The Girl from Montmartre) by José A. Saldías, where she sang as part of a trio with Olinda Bozán and Antonia Volpe, to the guitar accompaniment of Rafael Iriarte. Within a couple of months, she had begun singing on Radio Prieto, and was signed for record production with Victor Records, which released her first album, Gaucho Sol, on 26 September 1926, as well as the single Chilenito.[4]

    In 1929, she began working in Alberto Vaccarezza's, El conventillo de la Paloma ("The Tenement of the Dove"), which was about the life of a girl Doce Pesos, living in an immigrant tenement house. After two years and 1,000 performances, Lamarque quit the show to focus on her music career. She traveled through several provinces of Argentina and through neighboring Paraguay accompanied by three.[4] In 1930,[5] following this tour she entered a competition held at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, won first prize for her performances of the tangos "La cumparsita" and "Tocaneando",[6] and earned the title "Queen of Tango".[4] She capped this cycle by performing Oscar Straus's Tres valses (Three Waltzes), an adaptation of the operetta, with Chilean singer Choly Mur.[4]

    In the mid-1930s Lamarque was accompanied by a trio of musicians including bandoneon player Héctor María Artola, violinist Antonio Rodio, and pianist, Alfredo Malerba, who would become her second husband. She shone in works that were painful and romantic, such as En esta tarde gris (In this gray afternoon), Sombras, nada más (Shadows, nothing else), Tristezas de la calle Corrientes (Sorrows of Corrientes Street) or Caserón de tejas (Mansion of Tiles), Canción desesperada (Desperate Song) and Sin palabras (Without words). Many of her best songs were by composer Enrique Santos Discepolo because they particularly suited her style.[5]

    She filmed Adiós, Argentina,[1] which was directed by Italian Mario Parpagnoli[4] in 1929, which was released the following year, and the first Argentine film with sound ¡Tango! in 1932, which resulted in her being the first singer to be recorded for a sound film in Argentina.[1] Lamarque was a light soprano with a vocal range from approximately middle C (C4) to "high A" (A5).[citation needed] After ¡Tango! 's release in 1933, a string of films followed, including El alma del bandoneon (1935),[6] Ayúdame a vivir (1936),[4] Besos brujos (1937),[6] La ley que olvidaron (1937), Madreselva (1938), Puerta cerrada (1939), Caminito de la gloria (1939), La casa del recuerdo (1940), Cita en la frontera(1940),[4] Una vez en la vida (1941),[6] Yo conocí a esa mujer (1942), En el viejo Buenos Aires (1942), Eclipse de sol (1942), El fin de la noche (1944), La cabalgata del circo (1945) and many more.[4][7]

    Legendary rift with Eva Perón

    Legend has it that Lamarque left Argentina because she had been blacklisted by its First Lady Eva Perón.[1][3][6] Marysa Navarro and Nicholas Frasier, authors of Evita: The Real Life of Eva Perón, however, contend this is unlikely. They argue that Lamarque moved to Mexico, where she was adored by the audiences because Mexican cinema was in a better state during the 1940s and 1950s than Argentine cinema. The authors add that Lamarque traveled freely between Argentina and Mexico during the lifetime of Eva Perón and beyond, which does not support the blacklisting legend.[8]

    Lamarque denied during her lifetime certain aspects of the legend, especially the reports that she had slapped Eva on the set of La cabalgata del circo. In her 1986 autobiography, she flatly denied the allegations and explained that she was simply mortified by Eva's lack of discipline during production of the film.[9]

    According to Lamarque, Eva refused to take her work seriously and always arrived late or stalled the filming for trivial or personal reasons. Complaints to either the producer or the director produced no result as they were giving Eva preferential treatment as the girlfriend of Juan Perón.[10]

    By 1946, Eva and Juan Perón were ensconced in the Presidential Palace,[11] rumors circulated that Evita had forbidden radio stations and film studios to play Lamarque's music or hire her,[6] and Lamarque's films, music and publicity in Argentina seemed to have come to an end.[3]

    Relocation to Mexico

    Between January and February 1946, Lamarque appeared in her first tour of Cuba, which was listed as the artistic event of the season. On 7 January, she debuted in the Teatro América with a varied repertoire, but closed the show with "Facundo" by Cuban composer Eliseo Grenet to much applause. She performed shows daily, sometimes twice a day and on her final performance at Teatro América, 20 January, she held three performances. She performed at Camaguey, Ciego de Avila, Santa Clara, Holguin, and Santiago de Cuba; visited hospitals and schools; and her farewell performance at the Municipal Amphitheatre of Havana was said to have been attended by 20,000 fans.[12] It was on this trip that the Cuban press first dubbed her America's Sweetheart.[13]

    Just before the Cuban trip, Hollywood had offered Lamarque a seven-year contract but she refused it as she did not speak English and was afraid she would be taken advantage of.[3][12] Despite her fears of working in the U.S., Lamarque sold out Carnegie Hall for a 1947 performance.[3][14] When Mexico, on the other hand, offered her a picture deal to appear with legendary Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel, she agreed.[15] and moved to Mexico in 1946.[6] The picture, Gran Casino, co-starring Jorge Negrete was a flop,[15] but other roles followed, such as Soledad (1947), La dama del velo (1948), Huellas de un pasado (1950), Mujeres sin lágrimas (1951), Nunca es tarde para amar (1952), Ansiedad (1952), and Rostros olvidados (1952).[16] Some of her best work during this period was in Otra primavera, filmed in 1949, La loca (1951) and Cuando me vaya (1953); for each of these she was nominated for a Best actress Ariel Award in 1951, 1953, and 1955, respectively.[17]

    Some of her last movies included Bodas de oro (1955), Amor de sombra (1959), Yo pecador (1959), Rosas blancas para mi hermana negra (1969),[11] with Cuban singer Eusebia Cosme[18] and her last two Argentine films, La sonrisa de mamá (1972) and La mamá de la novia (1978).[19] But as she wound down her movie career, she began touring with music again. In the late 1950s, she did a concert tour with Puerto Rican singer Jesús Quiñones Ledesma[20] and worked in Chile, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and returned to Cuba to do theater and record several albums.[13]

    She returned to Argentina after Evita's death and was the first person to bring a Spanish version of "Hello Dolly" to Latin audiences[citation needed] at a 1967 performance at the Teatro Nacional in Buenos Aires,[13] which she also later performed in Mexico in 1968 staged by Manolo Fabregás.[21]

    In 1982, she starred in the musical revue, Libertad Lamarque, ¿es una mujer de suerte? at the Teatro Lola Membrives in Buenos Aires. She wrote the script, which was adapted by Nicolás Carreras under the musical direction of Oscar Cardozo Ocampo. In 1988, Lamarque participated in the season at Mar del Plata's Teatro Opera with the musical A todo tango II under the direction of José Colángelo.[19]

    In the 1960s she appeared in several episodes of a television show called "Saturday Circular" with Nicholas Mancera and in 1961, she filmed Así era mi madre, her only Spanish film. Her first venture into soap operas came in Venezuela, when she was offered a role in Esmeralda in 1972. That was followed by another Venezuelan production called Mamá.[19]

    In 1980, she began the first of her Mexican telenovelas, Soledad, followed by her role in Carita de Angel at the age of 91 where she played a Mother superior. Her last role, as la abuela Piedad in La Usurpadora (The Usurper) was in 1998 – two years before her death.[citation needed]

    Lamarque received an award in 1978 from Venezuelan President Carlos Andres Perez for her contributions to Latin American culture and in 1980, and shared a Critic's Choice Award with María Félix.[13] In 1985, she received the Konex Platinum Award for Best Tango Singer in Argentina. In 1988, she put her hand prints on the "Walk of Fame of the Hermitage Hotel".[citation needed]

    In 1989, she was honored at the Festival of San Sebastian, Spain, for her film achievements and was recognized by the Caesar Awards given by the Association of American theater to Latin American artists in Los Angeles. That same year, a tile bearing her name placed in the "Sidewalk of Latin Stars" in Miami and a tribute was held for her at the Autumn Festival of Paris.[citation needed]

    She was appointed "Illustrious citizen of the city of Buenos Aires" in 1990 and on 15 November 1991, a few days before her birthday, the Municipal Council of Rosario granted her a similar distinction.[19] Lamarque was honored in 1993 by Celebrando Magazine, a Spanish-language publication which is nationally distributed in the U.S., for her 70 years in film, theater and music and her philanthropy.[3]

    In 1998, she was appointed as Honorary Cultural Advisor and designated as a Cultural Legend in Buenos Aires.[22]


    Last years and death

    In 1996 Libertad moved to the United States and settled in her Coral Gables home in Miami, Florida. She often flew to Mexico City and Buenos Aires to attend her professional appointments as well. Her daughter, grandsons and great-grandsons lived in Argentina.

    In 1998 Lamarque was featured in the soap opera La usurpadora, which a huge success in Mexico and in many countries in Latin America. Her character was she played Ms. Piedad Bracho. Her last role on TV was on the telenovela Carita de Ángel, where she played Mother Superior. She was overjoyed to take part in these projects.

    In the early days of December 2000, Libertad Lamarque was rushed to Santa Elena Hospital in Mexico City, after feeling sick and experiencing breathing difficulties. She died aged 92 on 12 December 2000 in Mexico City, Mexico from pneumonia.[1] Her only daughter, Mirtha Libertad Lamarque Romero Deluca, died in 19 October 2014, aged 86.[citation needed]

    Personal life

    In 1926, Lamarque married Emilio Romero and had a daughter, Mirtha, with him before divorcing in 1945.

    Jacques de Liniers, le 1er comte de Buenos Aires, également connu sous son nom espagnol, Santiago de Liniers y Bremond





    Family and youth

    Jacques de Liniers was born in Niort (current department of Deux-Sèvres ) on July 25, 1753. He comes from a noble family of Poitou, having the vocation of arms since the Middle Ages. His father was a naval officer and his uncle, Alexis de Liniers , died at the battle of Lauffeld , struck by a British cannonball which took his leg. The youngest of a family of nine children and little attracted by the ecclesiastical state, the young Jacques is destined for the career of arms.

    1765, he is presented to the order of Saint John of Jerusalem. Besides, he does nothing more than follow a family tradition. But given his young age, he would never make his pilgrims and do not take his vows as a brother-knight of the Order.

    He then obtained, at the age of fifteen, a second lieutenant's certificate in the Royal Piedmont Cavalry regiment, stationed in Carcassonne. He vegetated for six years in garrison, with no hope of advancement. France, having emerged defeated from the Seven Years' War, was then at peace with the whole world and Minister Turgot , appointed by the young King Louis XVI , reduced the budget of the armies, leaving little prospects for the future to the young officers of small nobility like Liniers.

    Liniers thus addressed his resignation to the colonel of his regiment in 1774. At the age of 21, he set out in search of a new cause, and of a new master to whom he could offer his sword. He finally opts for Spain.

    British invasions

    Buenos Aires constituted in 1806 a prey of choice for the United Kingdom, mistress of the seas: the city is rich in fabulous treasures brought back from Peru, badly governed by a viceroy cut off from Madrid and badly defended by a small garrison whose quality is as failing as its loyalty.

    On June 23, 1806, a British expeditionary force of 1,700 men landed on the left bank of the Río de la Plata and invaded Buenos Aires, abandoned by the viceroy. Liniers remains incognito in the city. At the Dominican convent, he vowed to offer the flags of the occupants to the altar of the Virgin. He secretly wins Montevideo , galvanizes the population and raises a troop of 1,200 volunteers. The small liberation army embarked on a few schooners, to which was joined a French privateer corvette. Disembarked onAugust 4Liniers and his men rush towards Buenos Aires, through the marshes. The city is taken back, after a furious street fight which ends with the assault on the cathedral, fortified by the British. British General William Carr Beresford surrendered and Liniers, true to his wish, had the British standards (namely those of the Highlanders and the Green regiment of Saint Helena) transferred with great pomp to the Dominican convent. Treated as a hero, Don Santiago de Liniers y Bremont, as he was called in Buenos Aires, was entrusted with the military command of the viceroyalty.

    But the British did not give up their project of conquest. Less than six months later, a second squadron arrived in the Rio de la Plata. It carries 5,000 soldiers, the vanguard of an expeditionary force of 10,000 men. While the British seized Montevideo, Liniers organized a small disparate army of 8,500 men, somehow bringing together Castilians, Creoles, Mulattoes and blacks . EndJune 1807, the British land in force on the Argentine coast of the Rio de la Plata. They launch into Buenos Aires, deserted and strangely silent. Pacing the deserted streets, the twelve British columns enter the city. They lead to the Plaza Mayor ( Place de Mai ), in the center of the capital, when suddenly a gunshot rings out and, from all the adjacent streets, the assailants appear. The British are overthrown and face stubborn resistance from the inhabitants, who have made each house, each convent, a veritable fortress. The British could hardly take refuge in the city forts. theJuly 7, the British general John Whitelocke accepts the conditions of the French general and re-embark his troops. Santiago de Liniers was once again cheered by a delirious crowd, hailed by the nickname El Reconquistador and carried in triumph to the Dominican convent, where he laid down the new British flags taken in battle.

    On the announcement of these two resounding victories, the court of Madrid showered Liniers with favors: King Charles IV appointed him governor, captain general and viceroy of all the provinces of Rio de la Plata.

    Viceroy of the River Plate


    Endowed with discretionary powers (Madrid is far away, and the Spanish monarchy adrift), Liniers maneuvers cautiously in an Argentinian society in full change. A fine diplomat, he smoothly reconciles the interests of the descendants of the conquistadors, the landed elite established for a very long time, and the settlers who landed more recently, who claim their share of power. To this is added, with the decay of the Spanish royal power, the first bubbling of the spirit of independence, which begins to reach Spanish America.

    With the invasion of Spain by the French armies and the installation of King Joseph I st in Madrid, Jacques de Liniers is in an awkward position. French by blood and heart, he felt pushed towards France, but he took the oath to Charles IV and his descendants, and could not betray a monarchy to which he owed an exceptional career. He therefore rejected the advances of Napoleon , transmitted by the envoy Sassenay , and remained loyal to the Bourbons .

    Despite this, the people of Buenos Aires reproach him for his French origins and openly accuses him of wanting to hand over his viceroyalty to the French. The separatists join the legitimists in demanding the dismissal of Liniers and the creation of a junta, similar to that which animates the Spanish resistance in Cadiz . A compromise is reached: Liniers resigns and, in exchange, the junta of Cadiz grants him the title of count of Buenos Aires, as well as a pension of 100,000 reals . He is replaced by Don Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros , a Spaniard from the metropolis ignorant of the Argentine political situation.


    End of life


    Liniers then retired to Córdoba, an old university town, where he enjoyed a gentle and calm life for a few months [ref. necessary] . It is then that we think of him to take the head of the independence movement which has just been born: after having been el Reconquistador , he would become el Libertador . But once again, he demonstrated his unfailing loyalty to Spain and the Bourbons: he rejected the proposal made to him and refused to join the movement.

    In June 1810, a letter informs him that the viceroy Cisneros, totally overwhelmed by the events of the May revolution and abandoned by all or almost, calls him for his help. To his father-in-law, who begged him to stay away from events, he replied: "Would you like a general, a soldier who, for thirty-six years, gave repeated proofs of his love? and of his fidelity to his sovereign, abandoned him at the last period of his life? ".

    He then gathered around Córdoba all the troops loyal to the crown, from Peru to Uruguay. But while waiting for an enemy to slip away and in the middle of the rainy season, Liniers' soldiers deserted in bands, so much so that when the enemy army presented itself in front of Cordoba, Liniers had only 400 men left to defend. the city. From the first shock, the loyalist troops disband, and Santiago de Liniers is forced to flee. He is pursued, and finally surrounded in a hut in the middle of the woods.

    Posthumous recognition


    Arms of the 1st Earl of Buenos Aires later changed to Earl of Loyalty.

    A few years later, King Ferdinand VII, returned to his throne after Napoleon's defeat, honored the memory of Santiago de Liniers, by awarding him posthumously the title of Count of Buenos Aires(Count of Loyalty).

    In 1861, Queen Isabel II solemnly brought back from America the body of Liniers, who is buried in the Pantheon on the island of León, in Cadiz.

    A district of Buenos Aires bears the name of Liniers, as well as a railway station and the Mercado Liniers, the cattle market in the Argentine capital, the largest in the world.

    In 1910, in Niort, a bust of Jacques de Liniers was erected at a corner of rue Alsace-Lorraine, to honor his memory. It is still there today.

    An association, Mémoires Jacques de Liniers created in 2005, intends to study and publicize his life and his military and political action. Celebration of the bicentenary of his death on the 28th andAug 29, 2010, in Niort .

    Avenue Jacques de Liniers (sometimes called "Jacques de Linières"), in the Buttes-Chaumont park , in Paris .

Work of the artist Constance de la Martinière, this bronze will be permanently exhibited in the entrance lounge of the Hotel Le Marois, headquarters of the Cercle France Amériques, far from the other heroes of the Americas: Miguel Hidalgo , José de San Martín , George Washington and Simón Bolívar.

    His first-born son: Don Luis de Liniers y de Membielle, Lieutenant of the Royal Spanish Navy, was the Second Count of Buenos Aires and the last with such a denomination, since as a result of the execution, he repudiated the title of "Count of Buenos Aires Aires "and on August 16, 1812, he asked the Cortes of Cádiz (Reigning in the name of the captured King), to change the name of the title to Count of Lealtad (to the Spanish Kings). Subsequently, King Don Fernando VII re-enthroned, through the issuance of the Royal Decree of March 21, 1816, confirmed the change of name of the County.

    He was succeeded by the Third Earl of the Loyalty Don Santiago de Liniers and Martínez de Junquera, upon his death he was succeeded by his uncle Don José Atanasio de Liniers y Sarratea, son of the second marriage of the I Count, was Count of Liniers in France; He was Secretary of Legislation and Charge d'Affaires of His Majesty with the King of Sardinia; He was born in Montevideo on May 2, 1798, and married Doña Olimpia Jarnó de Pont-Jarnó (daughter of the Barons of Pont-Jarnó), and died in his castle in Plessis on April 22, 1882. He had only one son A man who was Don Santiago Alejandro de Liniers y de Pont-Jarnó, he was Count of Liniers in France.

    Asociación Deportiva Francesa - Association Sportif Français



    Deportiva Francesa is an Argentine rugby union and field hockey club. It is located in Del Viso.

    The French Sports Association was founded on April 11, 1913 as a result of the merger of two French sports entities: the Societé Sportive Française and the Club Sportif Francais, at the headquarters of La Minerve (French Mutual Aid and Charity Society), in the Venezuela street 634, in the heart of downtown. The first president was Georges Roy, but six months later the club took on a new impetus when Georges Fabré took over.

    In mid-1914, at least 45 of the club's members, French and descendants, all outstanding athletes, marched into the First World War, including President Fabré. Three of them remained forever on the battlefields. In those years the club practiced athletics, boxing, rugby, tennis, soccer and basketball. For 4 years he participated in official soccer tournaments, in promotion categories. The club was founder, in 1921, of the Argentine Basket-Ball Federation. The first great achievement of the Depo was the promotion of the rugby team, after a great campaign in the Second Division, to the First Division in 1925. Nomad for many years, the sports fields that the club had were first one in Wilde, and from the decade from the 20th until the end of the 40s in Vicente López.

    A new stage began for Deportiva in 1947 when a large group of rugby players from the Gimnasia y Esgrima de Buenos Aires Club signed with the club. Already decidedly dedicated to this sport, Depo was promoted to the First Division in 1948 and since then it remained in the superior division for 16 consecutive seasons, until 1963. At the end of the 1954 season, it became the first rugby club in Argentina to perform a tour for Europe. The team played 10 games (won 5, drew 3 and lost 2) in five countries (Portugal, Spain, Italy, France and the Netherlands).

    Despite its consolidation in the First Division, the entity still did not have its own sports field. During the 1950s he played in Castelar, Ramos Mejía, in ACIR (in the capital) until the purchase of the land and the definitive installation, social and sports, in Del Viso, at the beginning of the 1960s.



    Countless players emerged from their ranks, filling Los Pumas with glory. Rodrigo Roncero and Juan Martín Hernández stand out, two of the best references of Argentine rugby in recent years, and Ignacio Mieres. José Javier "Tito" Fernández, symbol of the 70s; Also in those years Rubén Castro and Mario Carluccio played. And Enrique Bianchetti, Enrique Mitchelstein, Raúl Pesce, Jorge Pulido and Juan Luis Guidi, in the heyday of the 1960s. And many others, who without being selected, also left their mark on the club.


    During the last decades the club has been the protagonist of the Ascent and First Division tournaments. Rugby continues to be the mother sport, and for 10 years, in addition, the entity incorporated field hockey in which more than a hundred girls defend, with the pride of always, the colors of the French Sports Association.
