Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron are fond of culture. They are organising a “Thursday of the Elysee” once a month, during which they receive as a musician. Renaud Capuçon, husband, Laurence Ferrari, participated in the beginning of October.

It is known that Brigitte Macron, the former professor of humanities, is keen on culture, and particularly contemporary art and design. The First lady never hesitates to take part in the events, whether they are festivals or travel. On 18 October, she went to the 44th international Fair of contemporary art – more simply known as FIAC – Grand Palais in Paris. On 9 November, she accompanied her president husband in Abu Dhabi to the inauguration of the Louvre museum on the island of Saadiyat, designed by the French architect Jean Nouvel.

The palatability of Brigitte Macron for art captivates even Stéphane Bern. “I’ve seen a lot of First ladies, and intellectually, Ms. Macron is really at the height. She asks questions that the others before it, are not necessarily asked… We talk of Chateaubriand, Flaubert, literature, education… We share a love of history, heritage and culture,” he explained in the interview to the Point mid-October.

The First lady and the president are of the ” Thursday of the Elysée palace “, once a month, around a musician, as is revealed in the World on Tuesday 2 January. The next one should be organised in early 2018. During previous appointments, the presidential couple has at the beginning of October welcomed Renaud Capuçon, the husband of Laurence Ferrari. The violinist has played with the orchestra of the republican guard for approximately 200 guests – “wards of the nation, to students of ZEP, personal hospital and the staff of the Elysee,” says the daily. The castle has seen fit to clarify that these cultural evenings are “forever people” and without a “gratin parisien “. The couple is also, as soon as he can, visits to the theatre or to the cinema – they have not missed the part with Jean-Pierre Bacri, The Meaning of the feast, they went to see just before Christmas.
