DEATH OF GENERAL DE GAULLE

On Monday, November 9, 1970, one of the most illustrious men of the 20th century disappeared.

By the fireside, in the library of his house in Colombey-les-deux-Églises, De Gaulle died in a few seconds.

Due to the health crisis affecting the country, the tribute to the 50 years of the death of General de Gaulle, Monday, November 9, 2020, was more intimate, but despite everything fundamental for Emmanuel Macron.

Charles de Gaulle died, leaving behind the image of a great head of state.

It was in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises in Haute-Marne that Emmanuel Macron was expected to pay tribute to the memory of the general.

A ceremony without an audience marked by sobriety.

The President of the Republic visited La Boisserie, the family home, and deposited a germ on the tomb of the deceased resistant before presiding over a military ceremony.

During this day, Emmanuel Macron tried, like General de Gaulle in his time, to unite the French around common objectives.

Today's ceremony has a strong symbolic significance, at a time when the Head of State regularly calls on the French to unity to overcome the current triple crisis:
