A true cultural project of the President of the Republic, the International City of the French Language will be inaugurated this Monday in Villers-Cotterêts, a historic place where François I signed, in 1539, the ordinance imposing the use of French in the drafting of texts legal. The castle, completely renovated, “will be the beating heart of the French-speaking world,” assured the Minister of Culture, Rima Abdul-Malak, who will be present alongside Emmanuel Macron for the inauguration. The choice of location is also dictated by “the economic and social difficulties of the territory”, according to the Elysée. Marked by unemployment and deindustrialization, Villers-Cotterêts has for several years turned towards the far-right vote.
