Superb post remembering the Belgian State Visits to France throughout the years! Particularly wonderful are the images from King Albert I and Queen Elisabeth's visit in 1910!

I rread the French are not that happy about a State Visit coming now and its coasts.

To be honnest most of the French don't care ...

It has to be noted that the Welcome ceremony at the Arc de Triomphe is the highest honnor given to a visiting head of State. Most ceremonies are held at the Invalides nowadays and only KIng Charles III and President Biden were welcomed here until today during the Macron's administration.
