At the announcement, there was a very long applause in the Aile du Midi hall of the Palace of Versailles – triggered by the President of the assembled Congress, the President of the Assemblée Nationale, Yael Braun-Pivet.
At the same time, joy exploded at the Place du Trocadéro in Paris, where thousands of people gathered in front of a huge screen linked live to Versailles. At the front, the Eiffel Tower began to sparkle to celebrate the event, while the inscription on the tower lit up: “Mon corps, mon choix,” “my the body, mine the choice.”
