After the traditional Armistice ceremony, Emmanuel Macron is presiding over the entry to the Pantheon of the writer Maurice Genevoix this Wednesday.
This entry was desired by the family of the author of Raboliot, who died in 1980. For Emmanuel Macron, it is an opportunity to honor all the fighters of the First World War, 100 years after the burial of the unknown soldier, and a new way of erecting this monument into a temple of the Republic and its symbols.
