A Blended Family at the Heart of France
The Macron-Auzière family is one of the most media-covered in France since 2017. It brings together a blended family around the presidential couple Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron, and the three children from Brigitte's first marriage: Sébastien, Laurence and Tiphaine Auzière.
This atypical family – united despite the complex history that shaped it – illustrates contemporary France in all its diversity. Three radically different professional paths for the Auzière children, contrasting media profiles, yet a family solidarity that shines through at key moments.

The three Auzière siblings each chose their own path: Sébastien in statistics and life sciences, Laurence in cardiac medicine, and Tiphaine in law and writing.
Emmanuel Macron, two years younger than Sébastien, maintains respectful relationships with all three children.
