French President Emmanuel Macron is paying tribute to the heroism of members of the World War II Resistance based at a remote Alpine plateau who were attacked by the Nazi army and French collaborationist forces. Members of the resistance used the Vercors Plateau as a refuge after the occupation of France from 1940, receiving airdrops from the Allies and even occasional visits by British agents with the top-secret Special Operations Executive (SOE) unit. With 2024 marking 80 years since the penultimate year of World War II, Macron is making a series of high-profile commemorations to remember resistance heroes but also to note the role played by native French collaborationist militia (milice) in the German occupation.

Trial opens for six teenagers for their role in the 2020 beheading of French teacher Samuel Paty, the first of two trials in a case that horrified France. The suspects, who were between the ages of 13 and 15 at the time of the murder, are accused of having been on the lookout for Paty, identifying him to the killer in exchange for money, or for making false accusations. Paty, a 47-year-old history and geography teacher, was stabbed and then beheaded near his secondary school in the Paris suburb of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine. His attacker was shot dead at the scene by police. IMAGES
