Spouses of presidents of France

Coralie Grévy (1811–1893) was the wife of President of France Jules Grévy. Coralie Grévy and her spouse wished to live a simple life and not burden the finances of the state. She agreed to host three balls a year and continue the charity set up by her predecessor, but saw to it that all official events were as inexpensive as possible and benefited the French workforce, such as in the work on the Presidential Palace. In high society, she was mocked and made fun of because of her middle-class background and lack of practice at mixing with the aristocracy, and exposed to social snubs and gossip about her mistakes in this regard.

Jeanne Fallières (24 May 1849 – 29 September 1939) was the spouse of French president Armand Fallières.She did not like her public duties and was given a name for being stingy and misusing her position for economic purposes.

Marguerite Jeanne Emilie Marguerite Lebrun (née Nivoit; October 12, 1878 - October 25, 1947) was the wife of Albert Lebrun, who was President of France from 1932 to 1940.
Together Lebrun and her husband had two children: son Jean Lebrun and daughter Marie Lebrun. Jean Lebrun married Bernadette Marin, the daughter of a retired army captain, in the town hall in Rambouillet, France, on 17 October 1932.She was the "godmother" of the legendary ocean liner SS Normandie and the ship Paul Doumer, named for the previous French president. She wrote God, Work, Family, and Fatherland in 1941.

Hélène Casimir-Perier (1854–1912) was the wife of Jean Casimir-Perier, who was the President of France from 1894 to 1895.

Germaine Deschanel (born Germaine Brice de Vièle: 13 September 1876 - 8 July 1959) was the well-born wife of Paul Deschanel, the French statesman-academician who served as President of France from 18 February to 21 September 1920.

Yvonne Charlotte Anne-Marie de Gaulle (née Vendroux; 22 May 1900 – 8 November 1979) was the wife of Charles de Gaulle. The couple had three children: Philippe (b. 1921), Élisabeth (1924–2013), and Anne (1928–1948), who was born with Down syndrome. Yvonne de Gaulle, along with her husband, set up a charity, La fondation Anne-de-Gaulle, to help children with disabilities.
Yvonne and Charles were married on 6 April 1921. She is known for the quote, "The presidency is temporary—but the family is permanent." She and her husband narrowly escaped an assassination attempt on 22 August 1962, when their Citroën DS was targeted by machine gun fire arranged by Jean Bastien-Thiry at the Petit-Clamart.Like her husband, Yvonne de Gaulle was a conservative Catholic, and campaigned against prostitution, the sale of pornography in newsstands, and the televised display of nudity and sex, which was echoed in her famous nickname, Tante Yvonne (“Auntie Yvonne”). Later, she unsuccessfully tried to persuade de Gaulle to outlaw miniskirts in France.Yvonne was reputed to be very discreet; as such, despite numerous appearances, she never gave any radio or televised interviews, and the broader public never learned the sound of her voice.
