The logistics of the Elysée and the government was then managed a main de iron in a velvet glove. Indeed, the police force and gendarmerie mobilized (5,500 Number) to protect both the population Venus mass at the site of the Republican running, and the political guests of honour. That was a big gamble taken by Francois Hollande and risky. The bet was won because citizens have answered a Republican appeal and the international media from all over the world to cover an exceptional event.

They were all there present aligned together, around the same national cause to deal with terrorism and symbolize political unity away from their usual bickering. The French left and right wings, were therefore hand in hand, to display an image of peace or truce politician, while Marine Le Pen, president of the National Front, had organized its own walk in the Gard (stronghold of the FN in the South France). Marine Le Pen had not been officially invited to the Republican march of Paris.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
