Mireille Mathieu, Sophie Marceau, Salma Hayek… VIP dinner at the Elysee Palace with Brigitte Macron and her young girlfriend (photo)

Among those attending the Met Gala in New York on Monday, May 6, 2024, there was another celebrity-packed event in France in my memory. Indeed, today the Elysee Palace organized a grand dinner in honor of Chinese President Xi Jinping. Today in France we are expected under the protection of the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron.

For rappelling, this is the first premiere of 2019 when the Chinese government chef implemented a European tour. From the move to Paris, Xi Jinping to the recent Les Invalides amid fanfare. In the form of a great dinner organized at Versailles for King Charles III and those I saw, plus personalities participating in meetings with the honorary president of the Chinese President at the Elysee Palace with Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron.

Dinner in honor of Xi Jinping: celebrities invited to the Elysee Palace

Parmi ces dernières, perhaps I’ll quote the singer Mireille Mathieu. Also, author-composer Jean-Michel Jarre, who accompanied Chinese-Singaporean female actress Gong Li. Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron also invited actress Sophie Marceau and director Luc Besson.

The famous Hollywood actress Salma Hayek remained on the sidelines. He is accompanied by his husband and wife, French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault. As a reminder, this is the last president-CEO of the Kering group (Gucci, Saint-Laurent, Balenciaga…). The company’s other chefs at this restaurant, Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron, have similar experiences.

Indeed, Bernard Arnault (LVMH), Xavier Niel (Free), Patrick Pouyanne (Total Energies) or Carlos Tavares (Stellantis) will return to the Elysee Palace on May 6, 2024. Jean Nouvel and her real Chinese Lida Guan, faisaient also party des convives, all like former Minister of Culture Jack Lang. Members of Emmanuel Macron’s government were able to attend the dinner.

Parmi eux perhaps refers to the delegated Minister of Foreign Trade, Frank Riester. Also Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire. In memory of this, Emmanuel Macron today celebrated the 60th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic relations with their Chinese counterparts. The two government chefs met one-on-one before dinner.
