The Notre-Dame-des-Landes airport project catches up French president's companion in her native town of Angers

Will the book "François Hollande président" written by Valérie Trierweiler, the Angers born companion of the French president François Hollande, be choosen as a gift by inhabitants for Christmas? She intended to do so during an afternoon signings at the Fnac superstore on December 8th. That day the store was crowded but, apparently, it was not only for Mrs Trierweiler staying. Given the present and foreseen economic situation of France, it's not sure Angers customers are encouraged to read the story of a political event during Christmas break (traditionaly caracterized by the cease of political hostilities French could be presently fed up).

Born in Angers in 1965, Mrs Trierweiler lived with her family in the Grand Pigeon, then the Monplaisir districts and studied at the Joachim du Bellay lycée before undertaking political sciences studies in Paris. Having worked for the weekly magazine Paris-Match, Valérie Trierweiler covered political news and met the future French president in 2000 of whom she shares, since, his life.

Policy caught up her again during her staying in Angers because she received the claims of opponents to the Notre-Dame-des-Landes airport project who have demonstrated for weeks in the city. Such an initiative could not ease the task of the French prime minister Jean-Marc Airault. The Angers timetable of Mrs Trierweiler was partly dedicated to local events, especially the "Solidarian Christmas" in the Welcome hall and to the caritative Téléthon at Saint-Aubin square where Companions of duty offered their help to disabled persons.
