French President Emmanuel Macron presided over commemorative ceremonies on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, marking the 108th anniversary of the armistice of November 11, 1918. The program also included a tribute to French soldiers who died in 2026. Le Figaro ↗
Macron took part in the traditional ceremony on the Champs-Élysées in Paris and at the Arc de Triomphe. He then relit the flame on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which is the central symbol of French remembrance of the fallen. France24 ↗
The ceremony at the Arc de Triomphe began at 11 a.m. During it, the president led the state commemoration of the anniversary of the armistice that ended the fighting of the First World War. The ceremony combined the traditional commemorative program with honoring soldiers who lost their lives during 2026.
This year's event was also the last November 11 ceremony that Emmanuel Macron presided over during his five-year presidential term. The relighting of the flame on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier thus remained the main part of the state commemoration of the armistice anniversary. Le Figaro ↗
