Brigitte Macron and Emmanuel Macron arrived at Fort de Brégançon on July 29, after a departure delayed by wildfire management in Gironde. Upon their arrival, the couple alternated between sport, family moments, and relaxation by the beach for this summer stay marking the end of the term.
In brief: arrival on July 29, morning sport rituals (jogging, boxing), water activities such as Seabob, family days prioritized, discreet outings in Bormes-les-Mimosas, and a local commemoration on August 17. These vacations combine rest and work on files, with shared moments preserved as a priority.

The president, who used to practice jet-skiing, now favors more discreet activities like Seabob to explore underwater.
These habits help balance the presidential rhythm with serene vacations, while remaining close to local residents.
