How will Macron celebrate this year's holidays?
French President Emmanuel Macron reveals he and his wife Brigitte will celebrate this year's Christmas holidays.
French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte almost always spend the Christmas holidays with their families, children and grandchildren.
Although the famous presidential couple has no children, Emmanuel gets along great with Brigitte's children from her first marriage, so they and their grandchildren are regular guests during the Christmas holidays at the Macron home.
About what the holidays look like in his home, the French president recently appeared on RTL's show Ils refont la France.
It was also an opportunity for the head of state to reveal what presidential Christmas looks like, and he also recalled that in December 2018 he spent one of the few Christmases without the company of his loved ones.
Asked how he will celebrate Christmas this year, he answered that it will be the 'most classic' Christmas with his loved ones. "I will celebrate Christmas with my wife, our children and our grandchildren," said the French president, who is 24 years younger than his wife Brigitte.
It will be a completely ordinary family evening, unlike in 2018, when Brigitte Macron's husband was far from relatives, and especially from his wife
The former Minister of Economy had to be outside France on Christmas Day, December 25, 2018. He spent Christmas with French troops in Chad who have been fighting jihadists in the Sahel since 2014. The chef from the Elysee Palace, Guillaume Gomez, was also on the task, so he designed a menu for a table for 250 people, which included poultry, cheese and a chocolate cake with macarons.
Last year on the eve of Christmas itself, the Macrons were briefly separated: Emmanuel Macron had to be isolated from the coronavirus, and his quarantine ended on December 24, on Christmas Eve. The President of France then traveled to the south of France where he rested in Fort Brégançon in the company of his wife Brigitte who was also positive but without consequences.
Fortunately, these were milder symptoms, so the Macrons recovered quickly and the Christmas holidays were in a good mood.
