Macron honors WWII's end in Europe.

French President Emmanuel Macron led the traditional ceremony on Paris’ Champs-Elysees Monday, commemorating the day that marked the end of World War II in Europe in 1945. Macron laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier under the Arc de Triomphe monument. In Lyon, Macron paid tribute to the French Resistance movement and one of its leaders, Jean Moulin. Victory in Europe Day is celebrated to commemorate Germany’s unconditional surrender that ended World War II on May 8, 1945. France is one of just a few countries that has made Victory in Europe Day a public holiday.
