Gastronomy, glamour, but above all politics with a reminder of the importance of Franco-British friendship in these times post-Brexit. “As your reign begins, you can count on the friendship and unfailing support of our country in order to make common cause for our people and for humanity”greeted Emmanuel Macron.
