The scooter that François Hollande used to escape the Elysée and visit his lover Julie Gayet is auctioned. The three-wheeled, 125 cm3, 34,000 kilometer Piaggio scooter has changed hands several times since the Elysee Palace in 2015.

The last owners were a couple named Patrick and Manola who acquired it to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary. The vehicle will go on sale at the Château d'Artigny to the highest bidder with a starting price of 10,000 euros.
