It is a happy event for the former French President, François Hollande;

He recently tied the knot with his partner, actress Julie Gayet.

The marriage ceremony took place in the city hall of Koriz, last Saturday.

The city council said when announcing the news to the newspaper "La Montagne", that Hollande and Gayet "married away from the limelight."

It was the mayor of Curies, Bernard Combs, who oversaw the civil marriage of his friend Hollande, who succeeded him as mayor in 2008. At the age of 67, it was the first marriage of the former president, a father of four, to his former partner Segolene Royal.

Gaye, who was divorced in 2006 and is a mother of two, celebrated her 50th birthday the day before the wedding, in Toul.

According to the newspaper, singer Benjamin Beaulay, who toured in 2021 with Gayet, was on the guest list.

The couple, whose affair was exposed by Closer magazine in 2014, bought a house on Toole Heights in 2018. Holland, who served as the former Korez MP and then head of the county council, regularly resides with his family in Toole, where he votes.

During the past weeks, he has been touring the district, supporting dissident socialist candidates in legislative elections.

As for the top-secret wedding photos, they haven't been revealed, except for a rare shot of the couple climbing the stairs of City Hall.

The groom wears a dark blue suit, and the bride wears a long white dress with asymmetric sleeves.

While Hollande refused to run for the legislative elections, he did not rule out running to return to the Elysee in 2027. When asked about the possibility of running for the presidential elections, again, he said that he had a duty to stand by his country if necessary.
