But lately she has made a number of missteps - being seen apparently ignoring and even slapping her President husband.
Now it can be revealed that her recent discomfort in the public eye is informed by a losing battle against a small army of trolls and conspiracy theorists which has driven her to despair.
The online abuse of the 72-year-old wife of President Emmanuel Macron, 47, is understood to have 'intensified significantly' in recent days.
The cue for this was a shock court ruling at which judges effectively sanctioned outlandish claims including that she was 'born a man' and that she had 'sexually abused' her future husband when he was a boy.
Ms Macron had hoped that the defamation case would finally bring an end to her years of torment by online trolls - but instead it has unleashed a new wave of abuse.
And Ms Macron is 'absolutely devastated' by last week's Paris Appeal Court ruling, sources have told us.
That cast exonerated two of her biggest critics, Amandine Roy, a 53-year-old clairvoyant, and blogger Natacha Rey, 49.
