French military parades on national holiday after a ramp up in defence spendings

Swooping warplanes, axe-carrying warriors, a drone light show over the Eiffel Tower and fireworks in nearly every French town… France is celebrating its national holiday Monday with 7,000 people marching, on horseback or riding armored vehicles along the cobblestones of the Champs-Elysees, the most iconic avenue in Paris. A day before the parade, Emmanuel Macron had announced a ramp up in military spendings. Details by FRANCE 24 international affairs editor Philip Turle.
