The procession included members of La FNACA, elected officials, residents, and parents and students from the Bonneval school. Together, they gathered to commemorate the armistice of November 11, 1918.
Two children, Ulysse Garnier and Elias Banchereau, read a text reminding attendees that November 11 is a day for collective remembrance and tribute to those who died protecting the country and its freedoms.
The official message, read by Frédéric Richard, Mayor of the commune, was a joint message from Catherine Vautrin, Minister of the Armed Forces and Veterans, and Alice Rufo, Minister Delegate, emphasizing that 'Every ceremony is a promise kept for eternity.'
Following the laying of wreaths and a moment of silence, a bouquet of flowers was placed by the children on the graves of Saint-Jeantais residents, honoring the courage and sacrifice of those who fought, 'Died for France'.
The commemorative ceremony concluded with a 'verre de l'amitié' (toast of friendship) and the distribution of small breads on the André Béville esplanade, under the slogan 'Remember to never forget, transmit so that peace may endure'.
