Her Majesty’s Secret Service is very picky but also very discreet when it comes to arranging a state visit for King Charles III and his wife Camilla. In permanent contact with the Quay d’Orsay, the British authorities have made several trips to Paris in recent months but also to Bordeaux where the visit of the royal couple was confirmed a few days ago by Buckingham Palace.
It will therefore be Friday, September 22, for a stay at no load with an arrival scheduled around 1:15 p.m. at Bordeaux Saint-Jean station and a departure by plane from Mérignac airport, four hours later.
The intelligence services who came in July carried out reconnaissance of routes and somewhat modified the couple’s schedule compared to what had been initially planned in March, during the visit deprogrammed due to mobilization. against pension reform. The Landiras stage no longer appears in the sequence.
The most honored mayor
Another notable change, King Charles III and Camilla will join the Town Hall when they get off the TGV in a convoy made up of official cars and not on board the tramway as initially planned. Arrived at Place Pey-Berland, they should take a first walkabout before being received under the paneling of the Palais Rohan by the mayor Pierre Hurmic who says “very honored that Bordeaux is the only provincial town” (as he confided to “Sud Ouest” a few days ago) where the British sovereign and his wife will stop.
The delegation, which could be made up of one or more ministers from the government of Elisabeth Borne, will leave through the gardens of the town hall, Cours d’Albret, to head towards the Place des Quinconces and carry out a review of the military troops.
It is also planned that a British frigate will be moored opposite the Munich plot.
A social grocery store
Charles III and the Queen Consort of the United Kingdom are then expected to board the tram to Place de la Bourse where a concert will be given in their honor. An artist of international renown, whose name has not filtered, is announced to animate the place where a thousand guests will be massed.
Charles III will then head towards the experimental forest of the Parc de l’Observatoire in Floirac, while Camilla should go to meet destitute families welcomed by the charity association Le Pain de l’Amitié, created in Bordeaux more than forty years by volunteers from the Society of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul. She should visit the social grocery store there.

J.-M. D.
The couple will finally meet for a final stop at Château Smith Haut Lafitte, in Martillac, a Grand Cru Classé of Pessac-Léognan, before leaving the Gironde. “But there may still be last minute changes”, we whisper in the halls of the town hall where everyone is eager to greet Charles III and his wife.
