Biography
Brigitte Marie-Claude Tronier was born on April 13, 1953 in the north of France, in the Picardy region. The girl's father Jean Tronier was the owner of a chain of pastry shops, the mother of Simone Puyol was engaged in the household.
The childhood of the future first lady of the country was held in the city of Amiens. The Tronier family had six children, and Brigitte was the youngest child. The Troniers were a very influential family in their region, owning the production of sweets, including the beloved macarons in France.
Education and teaching
Brigitte Tronier began her career as a press attaché at the Pas-de-Calais Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Later, she completed her studies and received a CAPES certificate, which gave her the right to teach the humanities in educational institutions.
With a new education, the future first lady worked as a teacher of French and Latin. In the early years of her career, she worked in this field in Paris, Strasbourg, the Protestant school Lucie-Berger. But Brigitte did not find an ideal place for herself and returned to her hometown.
Since 1991, Brigitte Tronier has been teaching Latin and French at La Providence Lyceum. Despite a rich personal life in her first marriage, Brigitte did not leave her teaching career.
It was at the Lyceum two years later that she met the young Emmanuel Macron. Brigitte was 39 years old when young Emmanuel Macron came to class with her daughter Laurence. He studied literature with his future wife, and later got into a theater class, which was also taught by Brigitte.
The young man and the teacher became close, spent a lot of time together, discussed performances and works of poets and writers. In 1994, a romantic relationship began between a teacher and a young man, despite the age difference of 24 years. At that time, Brigitte was married.
In a small French town, this would lead to a serious scandal. Therefore, Emmanuel's parents sent him to study in Paris. Only after the young man reached the age of majority, the lovers were able to continue communication. This love story knows no barriers. As a young man, leaving for Paris, Emmanuel promised to return and marry Brigitte. As history has shown, he kept his promise.
Personal life
Brigitte Tronier in 1974 married the banker André Louis Ozier. In this marriage, the couple had three children: son Sebastian, daughters Laurence and Tiffany.
In 2006, Brigitte makes a difficult decision to divorce her husband and father of her children, Ozier. Although for some time the woman lived alone, she was surrounded by her own children, and later grandchildren appeared. Emmanuel Macron was in no hurry to search for love, as he believed that he had found it in the person of Brigitte Tronier.
And once the future president of France made an official marriage proposal to his beloved, but she took a long pause for reflection. But in the end, Brigitte still agreed to become Macron's wife. After a while, she moved to her fiancé in Paris. By legalizing their relationship, the couple showed everyone how strong love can be, despite the age difference. Emmanuel became a father and grandfather overnight at the age of 30.
Brigitte's life experience and intuition helped Macron more than once. The spouse gives advice to her husband about a variety of difficult situations, whether it is work in the banking sector or in the ministry. Thanks to this, the couple managed to establish a well-coordinated work and succeed both at home and in their careers. At the heart of the relationship of the Macron couple is precisely the principle of partnership.
Over time, Brigitte completely immersed herself in her husband's activities, so she left her teaching career. Now she is solving issues that do not require Macron's attention, thereby relieving him of pressing problems.
