When General de Gaulle arrived in Paris on 25 August, 1944 to mark the French capital’s liberation from Nazi occupation, his official reporter was by his side to document the historic moment.

France’s news agency, Agence France-Presse (AFP), was founded 80 years ago on 20 August, 1944, just a few days before the liberation of Paris.
