The farewell visit, Macron will give Merkel the highest French symbol

French President Emmanuel Macron will present the symbol of the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor to Angela Merkel on Wednesday, during her last visit as German chancellor to France.

This "farewell visit" is presented as a "personal" moment between the two leaders and their spouses, Brigitte Macron and Joachim Sauer, before Merkel leaves politics after the formation of a new German government expected in December.

The Grand Cross is the Legion of Honor's highest distinction, which "embodies the solidarity of the Franco-German friendship maintained by Angela Merkel," the presidency said.

In recent months, the French president has honored him on several occasions, praising the "dedication", "patience" and "ability to listen" of the chancellor with whom he has worked closely on the European stage. Because, according to him, "Europe can not move forward if Germany and France do not agree."

Macron chose Beaune, a wine-growing area in Burgundy, for the visit, which will begin in the late afternoon because it is "a city whose historical monuments and summer culture illustrate the richness of the French heritage". foreign media report .

They will visit the famous Hospices de Beaune, a 15th-century architectural gem in magnificent Gothic style. This former hospital, world-famous for its summer wealth, had already welcomed François Mitterrand and Helmut Kohl in June 1993 for the 63rd Franco-German Summit.
