Global warming, cultural questions and tensions around nuclear tests, Emmanuel Macron's visit to French Polynesia on Saturday and Sunday is accompanied by many questions.
Here are all the subjects on which the president should pronounce during this new stopover of his Tour de France.
New stage of the Tour de France initiated by Emmanuel Macron: the Head of State is traveling this weekend, more than 15,000 kilometers from the metropolis, in French Polynesia.
After passing through Tokyo, Japan, for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the president will land in Papeete, on the island of Tahiti.
With this trip to the other side of the planet, the Head of State is trying to get out of a political sequence that still revolves around the Covid.
"It is important to involve overseas people in this process," says the Elysee.
The instructions are clear: in the tour of the territory undertaken by Emmanuel Macron, no one should be neglected.
The President of the Republic will be in French Polynesia this weekend.
A journey with multiple challenges.
The climate, a central issue
This first trip to French Polynesia was a commitment by the president, postponed several times due to the coronavirus health crisis.
So, upon his arrival in Papeete, Emmanuel Macron will therefore go to meet caregivers on the island.

There will also be a question of culture, in particular a visit to the Marquesas Islands, a first for a French president.
One way to support the archipelago's candidacy for Unesco World Heritage.
The climate issue will also be at the heart of this trip.
Global warming and rising sea levels are particularly significant in the Pacific territories.
The thorny issue of nuclear testing
Finally, the president will be eagerly awaited on the sensitive issue of nuclear tests.
No less than 193 operations were carried out in French Polynesia between 1966 and 1996. Saturday, nearly 2,500 demonstrators gathered in Papeete to demand that France admit its "fault" in the nuclear tests carried out in French Polynesia for 30 years.

According to a source in the executive, Emmanuel Macron plans to take a further step by assuming their consequences.
Without asking for forgiveness, however.
