The first round of the French presidential election was
April 23, the second round 14 days later on May 7 and the transition completed
on Sunday, May 14. It was a simple ceremony at the Élysée Palace, a speech by
the new president and the brief ride down Avenue des Champs-Élysées in a
military vehicle. A wreath was laid and President Macron went to work.
One day later, he was in Berlin building an essential
relationship with German Chancellor Merkel. Nice transition – less money spent and time wasted and no arguments about crowd size.
