The interview of President Emmanuel Macron in the 20 h of TF1 Wednesday, filmed from the aircraft carrier Charles-de-Gaulle, has collected 6.3 million viewers, according to data from Médiamétrie. This score gave TF1 an audience share of 25.8% during this 20-minute interview, conducted by Gilles Bouleau.

The first channel thus placed clearly ahead of the audiences of the early evening, with a lead of 1.3 million viewers on the 20 pm of France 2 presented by Anne-Sophie Lapix.

The president, faced with a difficult start and polls at half-mast, has increased the number of interventions in the media in recent weeks, especially on the occasion of his "memorial roaming" for the 100 years of the end of the First World War.

He also gave a televised speech on October 16, after the reshuffle that followed the shattering departures of Nicolas Hulot and Gerard Collomb. This speech was followed by 13.4 million viewers, all channels combined.
