Last day of the state visit of the Belgian royal couple to France. It ended with a page of history. A stop at the Château de Chantilly where an exhibition is held on Louise d’Orléans, the first Queen of the Belgians. The visit then ended in Lille. What conclusions can we draw from this state visit?
This state visit by King Philippe and Queen Mathilde ended in Lille, the capital of Flanders, dear to Belgians since 8,000 Belgians cross the border almost every day, either to do their shopping or to work.
There was of course talk of consolidating certain cross-border agreements. The royal couple left France from Place de la République in Lille with a military ceremony.
The results are very positive, whether on the economic, cultural or security or defense levels.
The only downside is that this state visit has taken a bit of a back seat in the French national press. It must be said that the economic and political context in France is extremely tense, with a government that cannot find a solution, for example on the budget. And this is obviously a subject on which the press is particularly focused this week.
On the other hand, a subject that has not escaped the French is the football match on Monday evening and you will understand why.
