Emmanuel Macron paid tribute to the resistance fighters who gathered on the Glières plateau, in the Alps, from January to March 1944 to receive airdrops of weapons. He then went to Maison d'Izieu, in Ain, where 44 Jewish children were rounded up.
This day marks the start of a commemorative itinerary, retracing the battles of the Liberation in 1944 and the end of the Occupation, which will culminate in June with the 80th anniversary of the landing in Normandy.
