This evening, I stand at the foot of the crèche, with my wife, Princess Marie-Marguerite and our four children, hoping for better for our country, better for tomorrow, better for all those who think that beyond selfishness humans there is a common good to share and which unites us all. This is why, as we prepare to celebrate the birth of the Saviour, I would like to send a message of encouragement and friendship to all French people who are faithful to this tradition. Since the attachment to the Christmas celebration has been maintained despite all the vicissitudes of history, it is our duty to keep this flame of hope intact and alive.
Find my Tribune in L'Incorrect where I recall how the Christmas party should arouse in all of us a burst of hope.
