The footage surprised many netizens. In the minutes following his speech on Monday, April 17, Emmanuel Macron was filmed in the streets of Paris singing a Pyrenean song with a group of several people.
The head of state had already taken up this song during a trip to the Hautes-Pyrénées last July. The singers who accompanied Emmanuel Macron were the choristers of the Saint-Longin choir. "How good it is to fall asleep, at the refuge in the evening, near the fire that goes out, in the land of isards," says the chorus of the song.
