Forgot to post this here yesterday. All the bells in Paris ringing in unison in memory of the victims of the #Paris attacks ten years ago.

Trivia. Nicolas #Sarkozy eats only #yogurts in prison, according to @LePoint. Is this a special Petit Filou diet?

And some in #France think we should #tax more… What about we spend less and better?

Only 51% of French people want new elections today (they were 66% a fortnight ago). Sébastien Lecornu is doing well, or not that badly. #France

Beautiful and extremely moving ceremony for Robert #Badinter’s entrance into the #Pantheon.

Now in #Paris. Robert #Badinter on its way to the Pantheon. To great men, the grateful nation.

Today, Robert Badinter, the architect of the abolition of death penalty in France, and a great conscience, is entering the #Panthéon where he will be resting next to Condorcet, the French Enlightenment philosopher.

I am inclined to support the restoration of the Empire. #France

French politicians and political commentators dissolve—if not into ridicule, then at least into panic. Former prime ministers unashamedly attempt to kill the father, Macron (as if they stood a chance in the next elections). 1/2

« Oh I have just seen a French Prime Minister! »
« Make a wish. »

French PM Lecornu has just explained his resignation: political parties all behave as if they have a majority in parliament; their intransigence and egotism is making it impossible. #France

Bloody hell. The French PM has just resigned!

Superb visit of #NotreDame towers at sunset. Don’t miss it if you come to #Paris!

Official. 39 year-old Sébastien Lecornu appointed France’s PM. For once, President Macron was swift.
