New Book Says Macron Has Secret Bunker Near Paris to Hide In

The book says officials planned for riots, cyberattacks and an armed uprising as France prepares for the 2027 presidential election.

  • French President Emmanuel Macron has a secret refuge outside Paris where he could be evacuated if protesters storm the Palace, according to a report by The Telegraph.
  • Investigative journalists Pierre Gastineau, Antoine Izambard, and Franck Renaud detail these contingency plans in a new book, citing senior security sources regarding preparations for possible unrest.
  • Evacuation planning partly stems from the Yellow Vest protests, while officials also considered scenarios involving potential election outcomes with National Rally and Jean-Luc.
  • French special forces examined options to protect parliament during potential armed uprisings, while Paris police rehearsed operating without encrypted smartphones to prepare for cyberattacks.
  • Officials stress these measures are merely contingency plans described in the book, not an announcement that Macron is preparing to leave the Palace.
