Emmanuel Macron will travel to Marseille on May 8 for the 80th anniversary of the Liberation. This date coincides in Marseille with the arrival of the Olympic flame in the Old Port aboard the Bélem.
The flame will then travel throughout France until the opening of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. “2024 will remember the rebirth of our nation” and must “celebrate the courage of our liberators, resistance fighters, soldiers from allied countries, fighters of the army reconstituted by Free France on the African continent”
