President Emmanuel Macron threw an informal garden party and a red carpet welcome for the World Cup winners continued at the Elysee Palace. The party also consist of 1,000 children and 300 athletes from local soccer clubs as guests.

A grand welcome, the emotion visceral as France’s victorious World Cup team rolled down Paris’ Champs-Elysees Avenue in an open-top bus on Monday while tens of thousands of people cheered with unrestrained pride and jets streamed the national colors — blue, white, red — overhead.

The crowd that waited for hours to greet the soccer team, under a hot sun and amid celebratory smoke bombs that choked the air, got its moment hours after the team returned from Russia to hoist the gold trophy on French soil for the second time in 20 years.

“Merci!” Macron, the youngest person to become France’s president, told the guests. “This team is beautiful because it was united.”

Macron offered advice, addressing the team said that “Don’t change, Never forget where you come from.”

The victory came at a time when many French were in need of good news, and the magic provided a sense that a grand coming together might at least paper over political, economic and social fissures for a while.
