Macron Embarks on Packed 24-Hour Visit to Andorra as Co-Prince

French President Emmanuel Macron, one of Andorra's co-princes, will conduct a packed 24-hour official visit to the Principat on April 27-28, his second since assuming office in 2019.

Macron and his wife Brigitte are scheduled to arrive by helicopter at Estadi Comunal in Andorra la Vella early Monday afternoon. The itinerary kicks off with a stop at the FEDA hydroelectric plant headquarters, followed by a move to Ràdio Andorra in Encamp. There, Macron will receive credential letters from around 15 ambassadors yet to present them, in a joint appearance with Episcopal Co-Prince Josep-Lluís Serrano Pentinat. He will also meet Head of Government Xavier Espot Zamora to discuss key national challenges. That evening, Macron hosts a dinner for authorities and civil society at Andorra Park Hotel, their sole overnight stay, with a strong youth representation.

Tuesday's agenda begins between 8:30 and 10:30 with visits to two schools. At Lycée Comte de Foix, a site that has welcomed prior French co-princes, Macron meets a delegation of the educational community—including class delegates and boarding students—in the auditorium. Classes in the collège, lycée professionnel, general and technological sections will be suspended for those two hours.

Next, at Escola Andorrana de Segona Ensenyança in Santa Coloma, pupils from the first, second and third cycles will welcome Macron in the central courtyard by singing the national anthem, followed by a facility tour. Security will block private vehicles on Carrer de la Plana and Carrer Prat Salit from 8:30 to 10:30, with pedestrian access limited between 8:45 and 9:00; school buses remain allowed.

The group proceeds to Casa de la Vall for a Consell General event, starting in Plaça Príncep Benlloch. Macron walks to the historic building, greeted outside by Serrano Pentinat and the somatent. Inside, he signs the Book of Honour, then both co-princes preside together—for the first time—over a session with syndics and parliamentarians. Flag honours and the national anthem follow outdoors.

At 12:45, Macron delivers a 20-minute public address in Plaça del Poble, accompanied by Espot Zamora. A lunch hosted by the head of government follows at the former Hotel Rosaleda in Encamp, with brief press availability before or after, details pending. The visit concludes at Santuari de Meritxell with both co-princes receiving the Creu dels Set Braços; Macron then helicopters from El Tarter back to France.

Authorities note traffic disruptions in central Andorra la Vella and urge public transport or walking. The tight schedule leaves no room for unscripted activities.
