While the new book apparently has quite a lot to say about the times of king Louis XV and President Francois Mitterrand, the author reportedly has “nothing scandalous to reveal” about the current occupants of the Elysee Palace.
While a number of French heads of state had quite a reputation for amorous adventures, it seems that such conduct will not be tolerated today, during the time of campaigns like MeToo.
As historian Jean Garrigues, author of a new book about the Elysee Palace’s “scandalous past”, has explained, while “the behaviour of French presidents was like that of a monarch”, nowadays, treating women as “objects and trophies is no longer accepted in society”, The Guardian reports.
As the newspaper points out, earlier this year, a butler who apparently worked at the French presidential palace for some 40 years, told Le Figaro that things have changed at the Elysee under the Macron administration.
The book reportedly ends with the “current occupants” of the presidential palace, about whom the author apparently has “nothing scandalous to reveal”.
