On the evening of Monday 16 March, French television channels interrupted their usual programmes to broadcast the speech by the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron. These speeches remain rare and embody a symbolic dimension for the power. They take place during great moments such as Christmas or the national holiday, but also in the context of extraordinary circumstances. They contain a setting, a décor, music with the national anthem, images of the presidential palace or the European and French flags.
