Brigitte Macron, former teacher at the high school in Amiens, reappears in unpublished class photos revealed during a documentary aired on France 5 on June 7. You discover a little-known side of the First Lady: a smiling, attentive teacher, rooted in teaching and education, far from media caricatures.
In brief: archives and snapshots from a time in Amiens, CAPES obtained in 1986, significant encounters at La Providence high school, recent commitment to professional integration through the Live campuses and literature masterclasses.
The unpublished class photos that take us back to Amiens
The archives shown on June 7 display Brigitte Macron posing with her students and colleagues at La Providence high school in Amiens. Holding a master’s degree in literature and a CAPES in 1986, she first taught in Paris and then in Strasbourg before joining Amiens where she crossed paths with Emmanuel Macron, a student in the same class as her daughter Laurence. These snapshots confirm the educational journey described by the press; see the France 5 report on the photos. Insight: these images place the teacher at the heart of her vocation.
An engaged teacher, visible in her public projects
After entering the Élysée in 2017, the link to teaching remained central: in April 2019 she launched the Live campuses with financial support from Bernard Arnault and LVMH for the integration of those over 25. The First Lady conducted a literature masterclass focused on the 17th century, captivating attention for an hour, true to her profile as an educator.

Personal life, rumors, and public image
The snapshots also reveal discreet moments: group photos, memories among colleagues, signatures of a preserved personal life. The archives help temper certain school-related rumors that have circulated in recent years; detailed analyses have been published to place these facts in their context, see the writing of a former student turned writer and insights from the blog on the rumor at school. Insight: the images humanize a figure often reduced to controversies.
