Brigitte Bardot, who has largely stayed out of the public eye in recent years, made a rare appearance at the Élysée Palace to meet with President Emmanuel Macron and his wife. The meeting was focused on the important work of her charity organization, the Fondation Brigitte Bardot, which is dedicated to animal rights and ending animal cruelty.
Despite her longstanding support for animal welfare, Bardot had previously criticized Macron for what she perceived as a lack of compassion, even urging her fellow citizens not to vote for him in the last French presidential election. However, with the election result already decided, she chose to put her differences aside and engage in a conversation with the president about the urgent issues at hand.
Using crutches to assist her mobility, Bardot made a graceful entrance at the palace, dressed in black pants, a round-neck blouse, and a choker, while Macron opted for a more casual look in trousers and a crisp white shirt. From the photos of the encounter, it’s clear that the atmosphere was positive, with all three smiling and enjoying a pleasant discussion.
It appears that Bardot, who founded the charity, was reassured by Macron’s genuine interest in her foundation’s work and efforts to support the causes she holds dear.
