A distinguished guest.
After Gilles Lellouche, Camille Cottin and Julien Doré, “Les Rencontres du Papotin” welcomed
Emmanuel Macron
.
According to our colleagues from Le
Parisien
, the President of the Republic went to the Arab World Institute on Monday to shoot a new issue of the program inspired by the annual newspaper
Le Papotin
, whose editorial staff is made up of journalists, non-professionals, carriers of autism spectrum disorder.

On this somewhat special occasion, the head of state made the trip with his wife Brigitte Macron.
Both had lunch with the president of France Televisions Delphine Ernotte but also Éric Toledano and Olivier Nakache at the origin of the show.

As the exercise requires, Emmanuel Macron lent himself to the game of surprising, touching and even disarming questions from his interlocutors.
Created in 1990 by Driss El Kesri, an educator at the Antony day hospital,
Le Papotin
has 53 journalists with ASD gathered around the psychologist Julien Banchilhon.
“We met the editorial staff of
Papotin
after the media marathon caused by the release of the film
Intouchables.
The originality of their questions and the freshness of their looks overwhelmed us.
We always thought that there was material for a formidable emission
, explained to us the two producers.
For the first issue, Gilles Lellouche had to deal with mischievous and offbeat remarks such as
"You're old"
or
"I prefer Jean Dujardin"
.
Not enough to destabilize the actor who had responded with undisguised pleasure.
Broadcast on September 3, the show had attracted 3.3 million viewers, or 20% audience share.
The following with Camille Cottin and Julien Doré had respectively gathered 2.7 million and 3.1 million faithful, or 14.6 and 16% of PDA.
We bet that the presence of Emmanuel Macron should have its small effect.
