President Emmanuel Macron surprised patrons at Le Prem's, a small bar in western France, by making an unscheduled visit where he bought coffee for locals and engaged in conversation about pressing issues like health care and salaries. This informal setting allowed him to connect directly with citizens, moving away from his usual political duties, which include enhancing Europe's military position. The bar owner and patrons were initially shocked, with some believing he was a lookalike, but found him approachable and engaging during the hour-long chat.
"He did not come to scratch! said Christophe Jacques, the cheerful bar owner, alluding to the betting games he offers on scratch cards."
"I was studying the form for a horseracing bet, turned around and was face to face with Macron! said Jean-Claude Turpault, a farmer."
