Emery Doligé spent two months at the Elysée palace getting to know the people who are the protagonists of this book. These invisible figures are essential to the smooth running of the palace throughout the president’s term in office. The author interviewed them about their lives before they entered this rarefied world, their first day in the job, the little details and the highlights of their time in service, gathering in the process a host of anecdotes about every president from Giscard to Macron, as well as about their respective wives. Revealing life behind the scenes at the Elysée, these portraits bring out the human side of the palace ‘machinery’. All the protagonists have been photographed by Sacha Goldberger.
