Britain and France have always loved and killed each other, and now a French airport is named "Elizabeth II".
The relationship between Britain and France in history can be said to be love and kill each other,
The "feud" between the two countries began in the eleventh century. Bounded by the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France, the main contradiction before was that the king of England was a prince of France at that time, and gradually, the British king lost his territory in France, gradually developed to the coast, adopted a balance of power policy on the part of the European continent, who dominated and fought whom, and France was bent on dominating the European road.
After the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France, France was almost destroyed, Britain dominated Europe, and colonies spread all over the world.
However, at the end of the eighteenth century, with the rise of the French Revolution and the shift of the center of gravity of the Industrial Revolution from Britain to France, Britain felt quite threatened, and the dispute between Britain and France continued and intensified.
Speaking of Queen Elizabeth, she is a monarch who loves France very much, and the most state visits in her life are the Elysee Palace in France.
The French called her a "friend of the French", "she loves France, and France loves her."
In September 2022, after the death of the Queen of England, an international airport in France applied to the United Kingdom to be named after Elizabeth II in honor of the dead Queen.
The town, Le Touquet, is located on the northern coast of France, across the sea from England.
It has a very deep connection with the Queen. King Edward VIII, the Queen's uncle, visited the resort for horseback riding and beach yachting before his abdication, accompanied by his niece Elizabeth, who was still a princess at the time.
In fact, the local government proposed this name change to the British royal family as early as six days after the death of the Queen on September 8, 2022.
Recently finally received permission and blessing from the new King Charles III.
The local Touquet-Paris-Plage airport will then be named Elizabeth II Le Touquet-Paris-Plage International Airport. However, the launch date has not yet been determined.
The local town hall said that paying tribute to the "great queen" is also a recognition of this "most British French resort".
The local hope is that the airport's new name will strengthen the link between Tuquet and the UK and welcome more visitors from across the English Channel.
Next month, it will also host the Rugby World Cup, where hosts France will face England rugby.
