Elysee Brings Back Public Changing Of Guard - Paris
French President Emmanuel Macron (C) stands in attention next to French Junior Minister for Cities Sabrina Agresti-Roubache (L) during the Guard Mounting ceremony in front of the Elysee Palace in Paris on November 7, 2023. Two sections of the French Republican Guard of 16 soldiers marched along nearby Avenue de Marigny and Rue de l'Elysee and meet outside the Elysee gates on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore. There the section leaders saluted each other and exchange orders before entering the palace for their 24-hour duty. The public changing of the guard outside the Elysee was first held in 1909 every day at 7:45 am, but discontinued in 1996. The Republican Guard, a military unit of 3,400 soldiers, is charged with the protection of official buildings in France and wide-ranging protocol duties. Photo by Firas Abdullah/ABACAPRESS.COM
