If some people don’t want to celebrate their birthdays, others, on the contrary, make a point of celebrating their transition to a new year. And what better than those close to you for this big moment. In any case, it is with them that the President of the Republic agrees to spend time during his birthday. Every year, he even started a tradition with his best friend, Marc Ferracci. “To celebrate, they always have good food”explained Marie Huret and Renaud Dély in their book The Macrons of Touquet-Elysée-Plage (Ed. Seuil, 2020). On Thursday December 21, 2023, Emmanuel Macron will therefore be with Marc Ferracci, also 46 years old and born just two days apart. The politician, currently a French MP for Switzerland and Liechtenstein, is a loyal supporter of Emmanuel Macron, with whom he even studied. On the day of their almost common birthdays, the two friends “they treat themselves to books, especially poetry: Yves Bonnefoy, Robert Desnos, René Char…”.
Marc Ferracci, a long-time friend
This year, Emmanuel Macron should therefore celebrate this special day in all simplicity in the company of his best friend. A relationship that Arthur Berdah, author of the work Emmanuel Macron, Truths and legends (Ed. Perrin, 2021) had also confirmed during an interview given to Current wife in 2021: “His only friend of the same age, who is almost his twin, because he is only a few days apart from him, is Marc Ferracci”. The MP has a habit of sharing the great moments of the President’s life. On October 20, 2007, he was even the best man for his classmate at his wedding to Brigitte Macron. Despite a hectic daily life, since the difficult passage of the immigration law and the desire to resign of several of his ministers, the President of the Republic should therefore take advantage of this well-deserved moment of respite. The day before, when he was the special guest on the talk show C to you, live from the Élysée, he was able to receive the first happy birthday message from the comedian and columnist Bertrand Chameroy. On Thursday December 20, 2023, a little earlier in the show, he spoke in particular about the new Miss France and the controversy around Gérard Depardieu. One thing is certain, he will have no shortage of topics of conversation with his old friend.
