Security forces in Chartres are preparing for the upcoming July 14 parade, with Captain Pierre-Alain of the departmental military delegation overseeing the rehearsals. Captain Pierre-Alain, who has experience supervising similar events in Rennes and Metz, praised the dedication and seriousness of the troops, many of whom have participated in previous parades. During the rehearsals, the captain focuses on observing the alignment, cadence, synchronization, and movements of the participants. He also provides advice and motivation to the national and municipal police, firefighters, young people from the universal national service, and prison officers, aiming to alleviate any stress they may feel.
Over 250 individuals will be participating in the parade, which will cover approximately 900 meters. The heat may pose a challenge, as participants will need to remain in a static position for an extended period of time. Logistics will be responsible for managing this aspect to prevent dehydration among the procession members.
The remaining rehearsals will involve the use of vehicles, requiring coordination with their speed of approximately 15 km/h. Captain Pierre-Alain emphasized the importance of presenting a beautiful and proud display on the day of the parade, in front of the authorities and the large audience that is expected to attend the national holiday celebration.
