"No president, no minister, no
representatives of the national

Only the French armed forces
can officially participate, but
their participation must be very
modest."
There should be “no music,
no fanfare, no bellringing.”
However, he said that "the
men and women of France and
other countries may, if they so
desire, pay homage to my
memory by accompanying my
body to its final resting place."
