France gears up for national day parade
Agency Report
France’s Emmanuel Macron will oversee his 10th and last national day parade as president Tuesday with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky beside him, at the start of a day heavy with significance 10 years after deadly jihadist attacks.
The annual military procession — which marks the July 14, 1789, storming of the Bastille fortress in Paris during the French Revolution — will rev up the crowds before France plays Spain in World Cup semi-finals at the end of the day.
