The people of the French region welcome their soldiers

After parading down the Champs-Élysées in the national parade in the morning, the units will be welcomed by elected representatives in an arrondissement of Paris or in a town in the French region, in the afternoon.

This event is the occasion for people to discover, in a convivial way, the men and women who defend territories today and to talk to them about their profession and missions.

On the programme: presentation of equipment, accounts of soldiers about their profession, activities and participation in interior and exterior operations.
