Without the traditional military parade down the famous avenue of the Champs Elysees and public celebration, French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday presided over the Bastille Day ceremony overshadowed by the coronavirus crisis.

For this year's celebration, the military parade, which traditionally attracted huge crowds, was canceled for the first time since 1945 and replaced by a downsized defile in the Place de la Concorde square in central Paris.
