Emmanuel Macron and Albert of Monaco: two heads of state in the Hautes-Pyrénées this Thursday
All eyes will be on the department, scene of the last arrival at the top of the Tour de Feance this Thursday.
We already knew that Emmanuel Macron would go to the Hautes-Pyrénées this Thursday. The head of state even joined the department on Wednesday evening, after a trip to Gironde, to the scene of the fires. The President of the Republic is going to Tarbes this Thursday morning to visit the Sports Factory on the former industrial and military site of the Arsenal. At the beginning of the afternoon, he must head for Argelès-Gazost to discuss with the actors of pastoralism and to discuss in particular the question of predation. Finally, the President will attend the end of the 18th stage which will be judged in Hautacam at the end of the day.
On this Thursday, Emmanuel Macron will not be the only head of state in the Hautes-Pyrénées. Prince Albert of Monaco is also expected in Lourdes and in the Hautes-Pyrénées. Accustomed to the Marian city and passionate about sport, his highness will follow the decisive 18th stage between Lourdes and Hautacam in a racing car, before going to Castelnau-Magnoac then, the scene of the start of the 19th stage on Friday.
The prince should not cross paths with another head of state, Emmanuel Macron, on an official visit to the Hautes-Pyrénées this Thursday, before the arrival of the stage at the top of Hautacam where these two personalities are expected.
