After the fire soldiers in Gironde on Wednesday, the road convicts in the Pyrenees this Thursday.
As in 2019, Emmanuel Macron joins the Tour de France in Bigorre, in the country of his maternal grandparents.
The Head of State will follow in Christian Prudhomme's car the end of the last high altitude stage of the Tour between Lourdes and Hautacam.
He won't catch up with the race leader until late afternoon, around 4:40 p.m.
But he will arrive at the end of the morning in the Hautes-Pyrénées and will begin his journey in Tarbes, with a visit to the Sports Factory, a former industrial building converted into a multisport complex and which will be the preparation center for climbing in view of the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
Emmanuel Macron will then take the road to Argelès-Gazost, for a walkabout, and a meeting with the Pyrenean shepherds who will probably not avoid the burning subject of bears and their predation.
