Early life and education
Auzière-Jourdan was born in 1977 to André-Louis Auzière, a banker, and his wife Brigitte (née Trogneux) a teacher. Her family lived in Truchtersheim, a French city near the German border, until 1991.[1][2] She was a classmate of Emmanuel Macron at the Lycée la Providence in Amiens, France.[3][4] Macron's parents first thought that their son Emmanuel was interested in Auzière-Jourdan after she remarked that there was a boy in her class who "knows everything about everything".[5][6] However, Emmanuel Macron eventually married Auzière-Jourdan's mother, Brigitte Trogneux, in 2007;[7] they had first met when Macron was a 15-year-old student in Trogneux's drama class.[6][8]
Auzière-Jourdan graduated from Pierre and Marie Curie University (UPMC University of Paris VI) and completed her thesis of exercise, Facteurs échographiques associés à un niveau de BNP élevé chez les insuffisants cardiaques: interaction systole diastole, in 2004.[9] She has an older brother, Sébastien, an engineer, and a younger sister, Tiphaine, a lawyer.[2]
