They quickly became interested in the ceremony and took pleasure in looking for texts that resonated with them. We are happy. to be able to get them involved.” They will say a few words to recall the importance of this heritage of freedom and courage after the unveiling of the plaque at Place de la Résistance and they will take the floor to read a text in tribute to the missing soldiers on Place de la République. .
