Career in Education

Brigitte Macron began her career as a literature teacher. In the 1980s, she taught at Collège Lucie-Berger in Strasbourg. Later, during the 1990s, she returned to her hometown of Amiens to teach French and Latin at Lycée la Providence, a Jesuit high school. It was at this school that she met Emmanuel Macron, who was then a student and significantly younger—24 years her junior. At that time, Brigitte was married and a mother of three.

Marriage and Family Life

In 1974, Brigitte married André-Louis Auzière, a banker, with whom she had three children: Sébastien Auzière, an engineer; Dr. Laurence Auzière-Jourdan, a cardiologist; and Tiphaine Auzière, a lawyer. Brigitte and André-Louis later divorced in 2006. The following year, in 2007, she married Emmanuel Macron. The couple has maintained a close personal and professional relationship, and Brigitte has been a constant presence throughout Macron’s political career.
