French President Emmanuel Macron has been drawing attention this weekend, not with political statements, but with his physical appearance during his vacation on the French Riviera. Together with his wife Brigitte, the presidential couple spent several days at the official residence of Fort de Brégançon, where they were photographed relaxing by the sea.
Macron was seen trying out a Jet Ski, while Brigitte enjoyed the sun on the deck with her friends. What caught the eye most was the president's fit body, prompting numerous comments online: "Macron has six packs!" wrote some social media users.
The appearance comes after several media episodes where the presidential couple's dynamic was put under the spotlight, including a moment in the UK where Brigitte ignored Macron's hand and another in Vietnam where she was seen lightly pushing him away during a public appearance. Macron has described these as "jokes between them", noting that they have a relationship full of humor and teasing.
Meanwhile, French media reports that Macron has significantly increased his physical activity recently, following a strict gym regimen. Sources from the Elysee say ironically that “the President is working on his six-pack as much as on political reforms.”
This "new energy" of the president seems to be reflected not only in political discourse, but also in his public appearance - an image that is certainly not going unnoticed.
