The Brits are unbeatable regarding military precision! P.S. The changing of the Guards between the UK and France is a lovely gesture from both sides - all you need is love with "La Marseillaise" at the start from Les Beatles 👍👍🎵🎵

There are also very slight differences in the arrangement of the buttons down their tunics & the colours of the plumes on the sides of the bearskins.

There are "changing of the guard" ceremonies every day in London so tourists know about them and they are an established ritual for public consumption. Do the French have daily or regular "changing of the guard" ceremonies at the Elysee Palace? If not perhaps people didn't know about it or what it was meant to be?

Well, it's the only place in France where there is an official changing of the guard. The changing of the guard ceremony was recently reintroduced. The Élysée Palace is not a tourist place. You cannot visit it or walk in its gardens. I wonder if the Parisians were well aware of this ceremony marking the 120th anniversary of the Entente Cordiale. There are actually not many spectators...
