‘Tour d’Alliance’. On 7 July 1962, during the official visit to France by Federal Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, German cartoonist Ernst Maria Lang takes an ironic look at the friendship between France and Germany and the good relations between de Gaulle and Adenauer. The Chancellor has a hectic schedule while in France, including receptions and gala evenings in Paris and a three-day tour of various other French cities (Rouen, Beauvais, Bordeaux and Reims). For General de Gaulle, this visit should offer a powerful demonstration of the reconciliation between France and Germany.
