Supporters of Emmanuel Macron have begun to gather on the Champ de Mars, where the outgoing president will deliver his victory speech. In 2017, he celebrated his victory in the courtyard of the Louvre, so he remains in the spotlight and aims to make his mark in another iconic Parisian location. The mood is jubilant and around 3,000 people have gathered.
