Is this the return of amazing photos by François Hollande who had marked his presidency? There was the traditional Kazakh fur of 2014, the unforgettable photo “Today it’s back to school”, the numerous appearances in the pouring rain… It’s this time with an astonishing and imposing shell necklace around the neck that the former President of the Republic was photographed on Tuesday November 21. He was present at the bookstore corner of the 105th Congress of Mayors of France to sign his book Upheaval.
We ignore who gave this necklace to François Hollande and for what reasons. The shell necklace is reminiscent of the goodbye necklaces offered in certain islands of Polynesia, after the flower necklace on arrival. But the 105th Congress of Mayors of France is being held at the Parc des Expositions in Paris. The same necklace was seen around the neck of David Lisnardmayor of Cannes present at the event as president of the Association of Mayors of France. He was also re-elected to this position this Wednesday, November 22. Many national political figures showed up at the bookstore corner of the 105th Congress of Mayors of France, without wearing the mysterious shell necklace.
