It's low tide for political life in France. President Emmanuel Macron is at Fort Brégançon on the Côte d'Azur, the Prime Minister and most members of his government have gone on vacation. Government communication, of course, emphasizes their necessary responsiveness when needed. But not everyone could or did not want to disconnect.

He would need to blow, but this summer does not allow him any respite. With the Steve case and the death of a bomber pilot, Christophe Castaner is still on the bridge.

Agnès Buzyn à la Santé, too, had to stay longer with the emergency strike . Other ministers could leave, but choose to do a little bit of zeal. Like Marlene Schiappa who is mobilizing this week against domestic violence. Brunette Poirson is also well known for tackling plastic waste on beaches. For its part, the good student Jean-Michel Blanquer could not resist visiting a summer camp.

The other ministers have disconnected, but not necessarily social networks. On Instagram, Bruno Le Maire is enthusiastic for a jog among the cedars. Muriel Penicaud photographs sunsets and marmots.

As for Gerald Darmanin, he strolls on the beach facing the Channel and remembers a poem he publishes in full on the social network accompanied by a #baudelaire when the Minister of Public Accounts prides himself on poetry on vacation. A poetic pause for the Minister of Public Accounts before the review of the budget in September.
