Plan of the ground exhibits around Les Invalides (including an Alphajet, a Patroller drone & 12 helicopters (that I presume will land in the afternoon):
Fourth one over Saudia Arabia CB-8008 c/s IFC0283. Others one is CB-8006 IFC0273.
Yesterdays CB-8009 c/s IFC0253 and CB-8004 c/s IFC0263 are re-locating from Evreux to Avord today. no idea if they will stay there for the whole period.

CB8008 now above Italy. Probably a stopover somewhere.
Any ETA for the Rafales?
Evreux is closed on Tuesday afternoon except for a/c training for Bastille days
For exercise Orion'23 the Indian Rafales did a stop over in Egypt and arrived 1 day after their departure at Mont de Marsan (on a saturday). I expect the same will happen this time and Rafales arriving tomorrow.
Also, I found notams for Evreux confirming taxiway Alpha is unusable from Jul-10th due the aircraft for the July-14th parade, so possibly aircraft will start arriving from monday. Rehearsing tuesday. https://metar-taf.com/nl/notams/LFOE
On 14th July each service runs a PR event, the Armée de 'Air et de l'Espace one is in the parc André Citroën and they advertise the presence of a Fennec and a Puma, (which is a step up from last year when they displayed Janus C J38!). Poster here:

If the aircraft on Evreux parked on taxiway Alpha, can they be reasonably seen/spot from Outside the base ??
So not only a row of tails ?
Yes, from the south you have an elevated view from the bridge and from the northeast (along the fence west of Gauciel) one can possibly see the ones parked close by.
