The symbol is strong, the historic visit.

For his first state trip abroad, Charles III chose France, a choice that speaks volumes.

The opportunity to legitimize his new role as monarch but also to re-establish ties with Europe, two years after Brexit.

But a few weeks before the royal stay, we wonder about one point: where will the King of England sleep?

If we are to believe the press, Charles III should not deviate from the rule followed by his mother Elizabeth II and will therefore stay close to the Élysée Palace, at the United Kingdom Embassy.

Prince William and Kate Middleton, when they came to Paris in 2017, had been staying at the embassy, ​​which is considered British territory in France.

Elizabeth II did the same, and slept at the embassy when she was in the capital.

A tradition that the new king intends to respect, in the continuity of the reign of his mother.
