The summer break is “studious” but also sporty. The Head of State, on vacation at Fort de Brégançon in Bormes-les-Mimosas for a week, was seen canoeing at sea. The moment was captured on Wednesday August 3 around 18 hours. Emmanuel Macron, shirtless, swimming shorts, is aboard a blue-white-red canoe. The outing lasted about twenty minutes. He was followed by a security guard, also in a canoe.
His wife Brigitte Macron was not in the game. In the summer of 2020, the presidential couple opened the doors of Fort de Brégançon to Paris Match. The First Lady confided that she loves diving with a mask and snorkel, fascinated by the richness of the underwater fauna surrounding the fort or spending time at the beach with her children and grandchildren.
It is not uncommon for photos of the Head of State during his vacation to be taken. Diligently watched by journalists, Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron had notably been seen in turn on a jet-ski in the summer of 2018.

Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte arrived on the evening of July 29 at the summer residence of the Presidents of the Republic. They have been resting there every year since 2017. The entourage of the Head of State had indicated that these holidays will be “studious”. Emmanuel Macron will “follow the important files and prepare for the start of the school year”, the same source told AFP. Among these files are “the sobriety plan” to deal with the energy crisis linked to the war in Ukraine, “ecological planning”, “the implementation of the National Refoundation Council” scheduled for September or the measures to promote “full employment”, according to this source. On Monday August 1, the Head of State had a long meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky.
