Find here all of our live #14_JULY
10:14 a.m. : Hello, you are totally right to raise this climate issue. However, I find that this holiday is very important, it represents our country. In my opinion, efforts should be made, but July 14 is an exception. Of course if there is a way to reduce the carbon footprint that would be great.
10:14 a.m. : Hello FI. For 1 hour I have been flying over your live stream a little and I am indignant to see that, on the various messages from readers on July 14, the majority of those relayed are those who spend their time denigrating the parade under pseudo-ecological pretexts or by distrust of the army. This day is a time of unity and this parade is part of our traditions. Let us be, at least one day, proud of our country and its army which fought and is still fighting for us! Those who don’t like July 14, it’s simple, turn off your TV, you’ll save energy.
10:13 a.m. : Tribute to our military today. With a conflict 2 hours from our borders, it takes on even more importance Long live the Republic Long live France 🇫🇷
10:10 a.m. : Make way for the review of the troops, with a tour of the Place de l’Etoile, around the Arc de Triomphe, before going up the Champs-Elysées.
10:17 a.m. : Shortly before the arrival of the Head of State on the Avenue de Friedland, his Prime Minister joined the members of the government on the Place de la Concorde. Little anecdote reported on France 2: Elisabeth Borne had marched in the ranks of the Ecole polytechnique in 1983. If someone gets their hands on the images of the time…

09:19 : @MissR @Phiphi: I did a quick search – to no avail – on this issue. Last year, the platform Hellowatt calculated the carbon footprint of the fashion show at almost a ton of CO2, but with a minimalist methodology. According French Culturelast year, “2/3 of the planes flew with biofuels”.
09:19 : Hello France info, I’m going to be killjoy but it’s “fashionable”: do we know the carbon footprint of the July 14 military parade? Personally I find it useless and from another time…
09:19 : Hello, What is the cost in fuel consumption to fly all these planes and helicopters? Thank you for your reply.
09:09 : @Claude Leclerc: The parade of troops on foot should begin at 10:43 a.m. Emmanuel Macron, he must arrive near the Place de la Concorde around 10 a.m., for a review of the troops, before a 12-minute opening table by the bagad of Lann-Bihoué and the crews of the national navy fleet.
09:09 : And at what time does the land parade begin?
09:04 : Gaaaaarde to you. Rest. Here are the headlines for Thursday:
• H-1 before kick-off traditional military parade on the Champs-Elysées. Former members of the government, including Jean Castex, Roselyne Bachelot and Jean-Michel Blanquer, are among the promotion of the Legion of Honor of July 14.
• After having chaired the ceremonies of the national holiday, Emmanuel Macron will grant, at 1.10 p.m., his first television interview since his re-election at the Elysée. It is only the second time that he has returned to this July 14 media ritual.
• Two forest fires, which have already ravaged 3,700 hectaresare raging in Gironde, placed in orange “heat wave” vigilance. “The weather forecast is pessimistic, the firefighters are tired, we all have broken faces”according to the mayor of La Teste-de-Buch.
• On this July 14, finally a tricolor victory? The 12th stage will leave from Briançon to reach the mythical summit of Alpe d’Huez, where three of the last four stage winners (2011, 2013, 2015) were French. Arrival expected around 6:08 p.m.
08:54 : France 2 followed Thomas Pesquet in the discovery of the nuclear attack submarine Suffrenentered active service in June. “A submarine and the ISS are the same thing, but upside down, the confined side, the need to work as a crew”, observes the astronaut. Here is the first part of his immersion.
08:44 : Civil Security announces that three of its Canadair, Dash and Beech planes, which were to fly over the Champs-Elysées this morning, have finally been mobilized in Gironde to fight the flames.
07:56 : @Matt: Hello. The parade of 65 planes is due to start at 10.34 a.m. sharp, with a launch by the Patrouille de France. The start of the parade of 25 helicopters is scheduled for 11:31 a.m.
07:56 : Hello, At what time will the air parade take place please? Happy July 14th everyone 🇨🇵
07:52 : In total, some 6,300 people will parade this year, including nearly 5,000 on foot. The show will mobilize 64 planes, a drone, 25 helicopters, 200 horses and 181 motorized vehicles. Find it complete program.
07:45 : The theme of this 2022 parade will be “Sharing the flame”. Three references for the price of one: the flame of the army-nation, the flame of the Resistance (with a tribute to Hubert Germainlast companion of the Liberation, who died last year), and the Olympic flame, of which France is now the depositary until the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris 2024.
07:38 : While France cooks and burns in certain places, we will be able to admire military planes in flight for no reason, military tanks in Paris for no reason, fireworks which each year kill fragile fauna and pollute the soil, and our president will no doubt welcome his rebate on the price of gasoline and the reopening of a coal-fired power station. Overwhelmed by the heat, we will look at the TDF which has more cars, helicopters, motorcycles than bicycles… However, nothing prevents us from making our national holiday a moment of hope, the beginning of a radical change, it would be historically appropriate but no, we remain in the deadly, we continue to defend our pseudo-privileges of rich nation. Courage to the young people from whom we steal the future without even hiding. Rebel, that’s the spirit of the day!
07:38 : Hello. At 50, I don’t think I’ve ever missed the show. For me, it’s a kind of tribute to the fact that France is what it is. If I do not hesitate to complain about certain things, sometimes criticize political decisions, the parade reminds me that I am lucky to be in a country that allows me to be able to do so. I think it’s a unifying moment not to lose sight of what makes up our history.
07:40 : The national holiday, this great moment of harmony in the comments of this live. Or discord. Example with , attached to traditions, and @PercheronneDisgustedwhich dreams of a 14-July renewed from the cellar to the attic.
