Brigitte Macron became one of the most prominent figures in the country when her husband was sworn into office in 2017.
Brigitte Marie-Claude Trogneux born and raised on April 13, 1953, in Amiens, France.
Her family owns Chocolatrie Trogneux. The business has been in the family for 5 generations and was founded in 1872.
Brigitte was passionate about figure skating and was a member of the Amiens figure skating team.
Everyone knows that the first lady of France was a teacher. However, she was also a press secretary at the Chamber of Commerce in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais.
Brigitte started her career in Strasbourg in the 80s.
In 1989, Brigitte ran for a seat on the Truchtersheim city council.
In the 90s the First Lady was teaching French, Latin and drama at Lycée La Providence where Emmanuel was a student. That's where they met.
Brigitte directed Macron's first play when she was his drama teacher.
The first lady can be called multiple nicknames: 'Bibi' or ‘Cocott’ or ‘BAM’
Fashion is synonymous with French culture so it is so no surprise that the First Lady has made a lot of effort to become an ambassador for French fashion.
Delphine Arnault, associate director at LV has had a relationship with the First Lady since 2015. She has since then wore many custom and unique LV pieces.
Brigitte married banker André-Louis Auzière in 1974, and they had 3 children together.
At 70 years, her children are all adults now. Sébastien Auzière works as a statistical engineer, Laurence Auzière-Jourdan is a cardiologist, and Tiphaine Auzière is a lawyer.
All three of her children are parents which makes a grandmother of 7.
Macron admitted in his 2017 memoir that it was his wife who pushed him to become the President of France.
The First Lady has a house in Le Touquet that's valued at €1.4 million ($1.5 million) that she inherited from her father.
The First Lady does her best to avoid flying so she opts for trains and cars instead.
Her faux pas are very few and far in between. She is usually calm and collected.
She has kept up her commitment to fitness for years from physical activity to a clean diet.
