Leclerc assumed that after the Falaise fighting, his 2nd Armoured Division would spearhead an advance on Paris as he naturally assumed that a French unit of some description would be allowed to be the first to the city.

Leclerc got a small plane to drop leaflets on the city centre that read "Hold on, we are coming." At 22.30 on the evening of August 24th, a small detachment of French soldiers entered Paris led by Captain Dronne.

 PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Summer 1998
General Jacques Leclerc, the wartime pseudonym of Philippe François Marie de Hautecloque, commanded the division.
Leclerc pulled together a variety of elements, "a mosaic of peoples, races, religions, and political convictions."[3] Free French from the United Kingdom and Syria, French North Africa and Equatorial Africa, Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Moslems, and animists, communists, reactionaries, socialists, radicals, free thinkers, militant Christians, and Quakers all mingled in friendship.
Leclerc was to penetrate into Paris first, as Bradley said, "to help the French recapture their pride after four years of occupation."[13] But Allied troops were to accompany the French on their ostensibly military mission to bolster the Resistance in the capital.

However, the danger increasing every moment, General Leclerc sent an aide-de-camp to the residence, who was enjoined, in case of a new refusal on the part of Pauline, to take her on board in spite of herself.
A grenadier marched at her side, with the son of his general in his arms; and during this scene of flight and terror, the child, already worthy of his mother, played with his conductor's plume.
