No way 😭🤣 French President Emmanuel Macron was welcomed with an extraordinary number of traditional flower leis upon arriving in French Polynesia. In Polynesian culture, these garlands symbolize warmth, hospitality, and respect for guests. The moment, which took place in Tahiti, quickly went viral as the sheer volume of flowers nearly covered him completely. Locally known as a “Hei,” these leis are often crafted from fragrant tiare flowers and reflect the deep cultural traditions of generosity and heartfelt welcome in Polynesia. #french
