Career

Brigitte Macron is a former teacher who made headlines when she married Emmanuel Macron, the current president of France and co-prince of Andorra. She taught literature in Strasbourg in the 1980s and later French and Latin at a Jesuit high school in Amiens.

From 2007 to 2015, she taught at a prestigious private school in Paris, where she even taught the sons of French luxury business tycoon Bernard Arnault. This experience likely contributed to her knowledge of the French language and culture, making her a valuable asset to her husband in his political career.

Brigitte Macron has been a controversial figure since her husband, Emmanuel Macron, became the President of France. Their relationship has been the subject of much scrutiny, as she is his senior by close to 25 years and he was a minor when they first met.

However, it was at the after-school drama club of Lycée la Providence where their love story began. Brigitte, who was in charge of the club, first met Emmanuel when he was just 15 years old, and her daughter was in his class. Despite the controversy, their love has endured and is described by Macron himself as “a love often clandestine, often hidden, misunderstood by many before imposing itself”.

Brigitte Macron has played various roles throughout her life, from a schoolteacher to a political candidate to the First Lady of France. In 1989, she ran for a seat in the city council of Truchtersheim but was unsuccessful.

Despite this, she continued to support her husband, Emmanuel Macron, in his political career and played an active role in his presidential campaign in 2017. Her presence was deemed essential to his success, and upon his victory, he stated that she would continue to have a significant role in his life and work.

Brigitte Macron proposed creating an official “first lady” (première dame) title, with its staff, office, and budget for her activities. However, following her husband’s election as president and concerns about nepotism, a petition garnered over 275,000 signatures against this proposal.

As a result, the French government announced that Brigitte Macron would not hold the title of “first lady” and would not be allocated an official budget. In an interview with French magazine Elle, she stated that a transparency charter would be published to clarify her role and accompanying resources, including the size and composition of her staff. This charter was released the following Friday.
