EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Jack GUEZ from Agence France-Presse (AFP), the majestic Alphajet planes of the Patrouille de France soar gracefully next to the iconic Notre Dame Cathedral. The photograph was taken after the opening of the Bastille Day military parade on the renowned Champs Elysees in Paris, on 14 July. Against a backdrop of clear blue skies, these powerful military aircrafts showcase their precision and prowess as they navigate through the air with finesse. The juxtaposition of modern technology against centuries-old architecture creates a striking contrast that symbolizes both tradition and progress. The image encapsulates not only a momentous national holiday but also highlights stringent security measures put in place due to concerns over potential protests against French nuclear tests. As approximately 4,000 French soldiers march along the Champs Elysees below, these Alphajet planes serve as guardians from above, ensuring safety and protection for all. This general view captures more than just an aerial display; it represents unity, strength, and resilience. It is a testament to France's rich history and its commitment to safeguarding its values even amidst challenging times. Jack GUEZ's skillful lens immortalizes this extraordinary scene forever—a snapshot that reminds us of both our past triumphs and our unwavering determination towards a brighter future.
