Yellow, more yellow and always yellow for Emmanuel Macron. Not that of the “vests” and the breath of anger that shook his five-year term, but the one that has united the nation along the routes of the Tour de France for more than a century. The Head of State has once again checked the Grande Boucle on his summer agenda.

The opportunity for the president to discuss at length with the new darling of the French public not without having shared a warm handshake,all smiles with this yellow "vest" of a particular kind. The image is funny.
