As they rejected at the Brégançon Fort, Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron made an unexpected appearance at the Ramatuelle Festival (Var). A moment of relaxation before returning to major diplomatic and political issues, especially around the Ukrainian conflict.
The Varoises Varoises of the presidential couple took a somewhat surprising turn this week, with an unexpected appearance at the Ramatuelle Festival, after several days of discretion at the Brégançon Fort, according to Var-Matin. President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte indeed made a remarkable entry this Tuesday evening during the last performance of the festival, where humorist Dany Boon assured the headliner.
“The spectators were already installed”
Arrived in all simplicity, at the last minute and without any prior announcement, the Macron surprised the public, who did not expect to see them. “They arrived when all the spectators were already installed”says a witness. And although their presence was not planned, the welcome was warm: the presidential couple was warmly applauded as soon as they entered.
Dany Boon, for his part, did not judge necessary to make a remark on the presence of the president and his wife in the public, continuing his show without detour.
This did not prevent the evening from ending in a relaxed atmosphere, marked by the famous launch of cushions, a moment of traditional lightness of the festival. But even during this festive moment, presidential security was on alert: “The bodyguards protected the president from a cushion launched from the stands”adds the witness.
A cultural parenthesis before resuming business
Once the Var parenthesis is closed, Emmanuel Macron had to focus on size files. Wednesday, August 13, he participated in a series of videoconferences with his European counterparts, in particular to discuss the evolution of the conflict in Ukraine.

A return to political affairs that marks the end of this summer break, where the presidential couple could nevertheless enjoy a moment of relaxation before the start of the school year.
