Two weeks after his re-election, Emmanuel Macron has just been officially invested for the second time, Saturday May 7. A very codified ceremony, between tradition and sobriety.
Solemn, Emmanuel Macron arrives in the village hall of the Élysée, Saturday, May 7, to the sound of the oboes of the Republican Guard. A nod to his wife, Brigitte Macron, before advancing to the President of the Constitutional Council. In charge of officially proclaiming him President of the Republic, Laurent Fabius in passing gives him advice for this new mandate: “In these troubled times, let us be servants of the law and slaves of duty”. Symbol of his taking office, Emmanuel Macron is presented with the necklace of Grand Master of the Legion of Honor.
The Head of State then takes the floor. To set the course, he reiterates his desire to invent a new method. Serve and act, two words repeated many times by Emmanuel Macron. The president then greets the 450 guests, including his two predecessors, Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande. Salute also supported to Édouard Philippe, his former Prime Minister. Tribute then to the family of the Macron couple. The ingredients of a ceremony that is both formal and relaxed. Back to tradition for the end of the ceremony, where 21 cannon shots were fired from the Invalides. The troops were reviewed to the sound of the Marseillaise.
