Summer after summer, the Var coast has seen moments of relaxation and grand public gestures follow one another: between boat trips, gourmet stopovers, and cultural visits, these ten summers have drawn a true seaside portrait of the presidential couple.
In brief — getaways to Porquerolles since 2018, a pool installed at Brégançon for 34,000 euros, jet-ski images in 2019 and 2021, regular visits to the Villa Carmignac and public appearances until August 2025, when the Ramatuelle Festival applauded the surprise arrival of the couple.
Water sports and summer rituals on the beach
You find here the share of adventure that has often characterized these stays: jet skiing in 2019, kayaking in 2022, surf foiling and sea bobs in some years. The outings sometimes fueled public debate, particularly in the summer of 2021 when jet skiing was criticized in the climate context.
Beaches, simple pleasures, and friendly meals
The family scenes remain striking: pizzas and ice creams enjoyed at the brasserie Les Sirènes in Lavandou in 2019, 2020, and 2022, dinners at La Cabasse or Palais des Glaces in 2023. These moments show a couple fond of seaside pleasures, often photographed with security nearby.
Cultural discoveries: from Porquerolles to Muy
The cultural discovery has been led by Brigitte Macron, with regular visits to the Villa Carmignac (opened in 2018, returns in 2021 and 2022), the Villa Noailles, the Abbey of Thoronet, and the Muy at Bernar Venet in 2020. These stopovers illustrate the balance between seaside leisure and exploration of local heritage.
Holidays, agenda, and public reception
Between informal meetings and outings, the Fort of Brégançon has remained a place of political and family life. The installation of a 10 m by 4 m pool before a stay has been pointed out, but scenes of controlled selfies and shared meals have humanized these holidays and their leisure activities.
