Work on site and crucial files

The president never completely disconnects: he continuously monitors the damage from the fires in Gironde and maintains regular contact with his ministers. The place is often referred to as Élysée by the sea because it has the same communication resources as Paris. Waiting and vigilance remain at the heart of his stay, between meetings and technical briefings.
