Brigitte Macron, 64, (née Trogneux) has been a strong presence — and point of fascination — throughout her husband Emmanuel Macron's presidential campaign.

Macron, 39, and his advisers have repeatedly said that his wife is instrumental to his success. When Macron won the first round of France’s presidential election this year, the first person he thanked was his wife of ten years, while the crowd chanted her name.
