Elysée mementos are a hit
A shop in the Elysée Palace courtyard and online has started selling a range of presidency-inspired souvenirs with Président and Première dame shopping bags snapped up alongside mugs and key rings.

Of 56 products on sale, 30 of them cost less than €15 but the bestseller in the first weekend was a €169 Lip Dauphine watch with chic blue, white and red strap... as seen on President Macron’s wrist during recent appearances. The first weekend’s sales totalled €347,000 with 12% going to fund restoration work at the palace.
