Brigitte Macron and Emmanuel Macron are back at Brégançon, settled in the fort that combines ancestral walls, a lush garden, and a breathtaking view of the Mediterranean. This Varois oasis, connected to the mainland by a footbridge, remains the couple’s summer refuge, blending history and modernity.
In brief: the fort, a presidential property since 1968, features stone walls, towers, and a panorama of the deep blue sea, an above-ground swimming pool of 10 m × 4 m (depth 1.20 m) installed in 2018, and interior renovations launched in 2020 to modernize the kitchen and bathrooms, discussed by the local and national press (Closer report) and analyzed on a dedicated page.
The Fort of Brégançon: Ancestral Walls and Heritage
Perched on a rocky outcrop in Bormes-les-Mimosas, the fort of Brégançon resembles a classical fortress, with its ancestral walls and rounded bastions. The site, accessible to the public during guided tours, has seen its interior enriched with contemporary artworks and furniture since 2016. Recent renovations have sparked debates over costs, documented in the national press, and remind us that the place is both heritage and presidential residence.
A Lush Garden and a Breathtaking View of the Mediterranean
The lush garden surrounding the residence offers a setting of pines and Mediterranean plants, facing a breathtaking view of the Mediterranean and the beaches of Cabasson. This landscape influences family outings and the couple’s private walks, highlighted by reports from August 2026 describing these panoramas and the proximity to the coast (Le Figaro investigation).
This vegetal setting is not only decorative: it contributes to the intimacy of the site and its role as a summer refuge, where nature interacts with historical architecture.
Modernized Interior: Decoration, Office, and Artworks
Inside, the decoration has been rethought with furniture designed by Pierre Paulin and works by Soulages or Hartung, which enrich the official rooms. The presidential office remains functional: oval table for meetings and large screen for videoconferences. The adaptations showcase the blend of tradition and modernity that characterizes this presidential residence, and several public analyses detail these aesthetic choices (focus on Brigitte Macron).
Daily Life: Swimming Pool, Sports, and Family Moments
The above-ground swimming pool installed in 2018 (media value around 34,000 euros) is used for relaxation; sports activities and family meals animate the days. The media also mention the discreet presence of friends and relatives during these stays, which remain studious despite the holiday atmosphere. These details illustrate how heritage, landscape, and private life converge at the fort.
