Morning coverage moved from Tuesday's blocked lycées and the Chelles gasoline-bottle attack to Armistice Day, following Emmanuel Macron's last ceremony as president at the Arc de Triomphe, from the Clemenceau wreath to the relighting of the Unknown Soldier's flame, alongside dispute over the education ministry's mandatory school commemoration.

Attention shifted midday to European security alerts, with more than 300 schools evacuated in Italy after bomb threats saying 'we came to annihilate you,' with similar non-credible messages in Britain and Ireland, and to Moscow barring deputies Sacha Houlié and Arthur Delaporte and two journalists including Le Monde's Ariane Chemin in retaliation for Xenia Fedorova's expulsion.

By evening focus returned to the Trappes racist attack, with custody statements in which Kevin Tessier said he assumed his acts and hoped to become an example, after investigators found a list targeting left-wing figures including Sandrine Rousseau, Aymeric Caron and Assa Traoré.
