Brigitte Macron has been France’s first lady since 2017, a role she exercises with support and discretion. A perilous balance that she has maintained for years. A close friend of the presidential couple captured rare moments and has just shown them, revealing a little-known face of the Elysée duo.

The rest after the ad
The challenges are greater than ever for Emmanuel Macron, at the heart of his eventful second presidential term. The end of 2024 is coming for the whole of France, as a new government has just been formed by the new Prime Minister François Bayrou, not without difficulty and without criticism. To face the challenges and tragedies, the one who was not spared in Mayotte, a French island ravaged by cyclone Chido, and who has just celebrated his 47th birthday this December 21 can count on an unwavering ally: his wife Brigitte Macron .
To measure the size of their love, the photos are more telling than their modest declarations in the press. The first lady of France speaks little about her relationship in the media, knowing that each of her words is scrutinized and analyzed. However, her actions speak volumes and when she accompanies her husband – they said yes in 2007 – tender scenes are sometimes captured by the Head of State’s official photographer, Soazig de la Moissonnière.
This December 25 and 26, Soazig de la Moissonnière showed unpublished photos of the President of the Republic during his travels and we can notably see the French first lady more complicit than ever with her beloved and above all very tender with him since the couple is spotted from behind and hugging. Mother of three children, Laurence, Sébastien and Tiphaine from a first marriage, Brigitte Macron has been around the top of the state for several years and must oscillate between involvement and discretion.
Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron, a couple united in the face of all challenges
His last public appearance alongside the French leader took place during the day of national mourning decreed by the Elysée.
The head of the Republic Macron and his wife stood on the steps of the Elysée to observe this minute, while all flags were lowered to half-mast in France. United in this painful moment, the presidential couple was matched, in black. For the reopening of Notre-Dame, the couple also appeared very united in front of the reconstruction of the national monument after five years of work. The year 2025 will also have many projects and the strength of the love between the Macrons will not be too much to face them.
