The first stage begins on Wednesday April 27 with the official proclamation of the results.

That day,

Emmanuel Macron will

preside over a tribute to comedian Michel Bouquet at the Invalides.

On the same day, he will also chair a Council of Ministers.

Will it be the last with Jean Castex as Prime Minister?

Told him that he would resign in the days following the re-election of the head of state, but his retention at Matignon for some time is also not excluded.

Emmanuel Macron has time to refine his new team and prepare for the future.

His term officially ends in nearly three weeks, on May 13.

This is the date before which the investiture and re-election ceremony must take place.

The first trips of the Head of State 

Once reinvested, the president should make several trips, in particular to a military hospital to talk with wounded soldiers or even in the cemetery where his grandmother is buried in the Hautes-Pyrénées.

And then, for his first trip abroad, Emmanuel Macron undertook to go to Berlin, Germany, to visit Chancellor Olaf Scholz and thus mark the importance that the Franco-German couple holds in his eyes.
