POLITICS – It’s quite a symbol. In homage to Samuel Paty, this decapitated professor in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine for showing caricatures of Mahomet, his family and the Élysée preferred the courtyard of the Sorbonne to that of the Invalides, usually chosen for this kind of national homage. .
At 7:30 p.m., the coffin of the history-geography teacher entered carried by Republican Guards. A song led by the orchestra of the Republican Guard and the Maîtrise de Radio France will accompany them. Then two texts were read.
Among them, the letter that Albert Camus wrote to his teacher Louis Germain, the day he received the Nobel Prize for literature. The latter was for the author of The Plague a prescriber. It was with him that he notably prepared the scholarship competition for colleges and high schools, between 1918 and 1923.

“November 19, 1957
Dear Mr. Germain,
I let the noise that has surrounded me all these days die off a little before coming to speak to you a little with all my heart. I have just been given too great an honor, which I neither sought nor requested. But when I heard the news, my first thought, after my mother, was for you.
Without you, without this loving hand that you extended to the poor little child that I was, without your teaching, and your example, none of this would have happened.
I don’t make a world of that sort of honor for myself but this one is at least an opportunity to tell you what you have been, and still are to me, and to make sure that your efforts, your work and your heart generous that you put there are still alive in one of your little schoolchildren who, despite his age, has not ceased to be your grateful pupil.
I embrace you, with all my strength.
Albert Camus”
The tribute continues with a speech by President Emmanuel Macron. A minute of silence will be observed at the end of the ceremony and a song will accompany the departure of the coffin.
