Tiphaine Auzière, a lawyer and the daughter-in-law of President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron, reveals her personal journey and her recent foray into the literary world with her first novel, Assises. The daughter of Brigitte Macron, she speaks candidly about her childhood, her legal calling, and her literary inspirations in an interview with our colleagues at Paris Match.
Reserved but determined, Tiphaine Auzière says little about Lycée Autrement, which she briefly headed, and speaks delicately about her father’s death. Her novel about the legal world examines how women face important choices, showing her understanding of the role of a lawyer, which requires careful thought before speaking for others.
Her childhood memories in Alsace, where she learned to ride horses at an early age, show her love of nature. This connection with wildlife and plant life shaped her personality and values.
After an academic path that took her from La Providence to the Sorbonne, Auzière built a career in labor law, defending employees in often difficult situations. Her social commitment is reflected in her work, where she deftly addresses themes of humanity, guilt, and justice, far from the clichés of major criminal cases.
Assises is intended not only as a novel about the legal world, but also as a reflection of a life of experiences and encounters, of a woman who, beyond her illustrious family, seeks to make her own voice heard through writing.
