ceremony details revealed

A wedding in a select committee, only with relatives and a ceremony in their house in Tulle. It is in a very sober way that Julie Gayet and François Hollande celebrated their civil union. As a couple for more than eight years, they chose to marry the day after the actress turned 50. Their marriage was celebrated in Tulle in Corrèze, their city of hearts where they own a house.

Only a few photos had been unveiled in the press and on Instagram, by the mayor who proceeded to the civil union. However the daily regional La Montagne, who had been the first to reveal the marriage of Julie Gayet and François Hollande published on Sunday June 12 some details of this very mysterious ceremony. The media took advantage of the presence of François Hollande and Julie Gayet at the polling station to obtain some information on the event. The couple offered some aspects of the ceremony.

Thus we learn that the marriage was celebrated with only ten people including four witnesses. François Hollande chose Jean-Pierre Jouyet, his former secretary general at the Élysée, when he was president and a very good friend he knew when he was at the ENA. His second witness was Jean-Louis Audren, an old friend he met in high school and now a surgeon. As for Julie Gayet, we know that she asked singer Benjamin Biolay and her best friend Catherine to be her two witnesses.

A honeymoon planned for François Hollande and Julie Gayet?

The mountain also gives us some details of the party that followed the union at the town hall of Tulle. The couple did things simply but elegantly, like the asymmetrical wedding dress designed by Hermes by Julie Gayet. No banquet or big party for the Gayet-Hollande. The couple reportedly hosted a dinner party at their home in Tulle and served a local meal, prime ribs from the Tulle market.

The journalists of The mountain have tried to find out if the couple intends to afford a honeymoon after the legislative elections, in which François Hollande is involved. The former President of the Republic preferred to joke rather than answer the question. “I encourage everyone to come and have their honeymoon in Tulle. We celebrate everything there, presidential victories like weddings”, he launched.

Julie Gayet and François Hollande are now united by law, but that should not change their daily lives. They still want to live their love story away from the media. The actress for her part does not intend to change her surname. “The pleasure of an actress is that we always keep her name. I will always be Julie Gayet.” Like her love story with François Hollande who never changed her role as an actress.
