A photo of Macron and Oudéa-Castéra's embrace at the Paris Olympics sparked widespread debate online.
The image shows Oudéa-Castéra holding Macron's neck and kissing his cheek, while French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal awkwardly looks away.
The photo, described by French magazine Madame Figaro as a «curious kiss,» has garnered mixed reactions from the public.
Online commentators were quick to react, with some playfully exclaiming, ''Ooh la la,'' and others questioning the propriety of the display.
One user humorously noted,
''Brigitte (Macron's wife) is not going to like it,'' while another criticized the embrace as ''indecent,'' suggesting it was unbecoming for a president and a minister.
However, not all reactions were negative; some defended the act as a typical French greeting, emphasizing the cultural norm of kissing on both cheeks.
The controversy comes shortly after Oudéa-Castéra made headlines by diving into the River Seine to demonstrate the water's suitability for Olympic events.
Despite her assurances, concerns about water quality led to the postponement of the men's triathlon, with officials closely monitoring bacterial levels.
The public display of affection between Macron and Oudéa-Castéra has become a talking point, reflecting the balance between French cultural practices and the scrutiny faced by public figures.
As the Paris Olympics continue, this incident remains a notable moment in the ongoing narrative of the Games.
