The Elysée is slow to unveil the program of the British sovereign who was to have dinner at the Palace of Versailles with Emmanuel Macron and move to Bordeaux. But the royal visit falls badly for the French head of state, mired in a particularly acute and unpredictable social and political crisis.
A candlelit dinner under the gilding of Versailles as France rumbles. The banquet scheduled for Monday evening in honor of Charles III is already targeted by the opposition. Unions promise action. The royal visit is in “ the viewfinder of the CGT-Cheminots.
The dinner is officially maintained but the British press understands that the feast could finally take place at the Élysée, a place less symbolically loaded…
Barely three days before the arrival of Elizabeth II’s successor in Paris, the program is still pending. However, the protocol for this kind of high-level visit can never be improvised.
Will the descent of the Champs-Élysées be maintained? Will Charles and Camilia be able to take the train to Bordeaux or even take a tram ride through the streets of the southwestern city as planned?
“ No changes, so far “, is content to answer the Elysée to RFI. Because everything can still change, the program is still under development between Paris and Buckingham Palace, slips an adviser.
It’s a detail, but the red carpet will be well rolled out to welcome the British monarch. Non-striking employees of the Mobilier national were able to bring him to the Élysée Palace this week.
