Il President of the French RepublicEmmanuel Macron, went yesterday to the traditional military parade (going from the Elysée to Avenue de Friedland) aboard a Renault Rafalespecifically adapted to meet the needs of the presidential function.
This is how the French brand returned to being used by the Presidency, the first time having been in 1920.
The President’s Blue Car
The Renault Rafale made available to the Elysée stands out first of all for its “Blu Sommit” body colour and then there is obviously the grille decorated with the French flag in shaded tones, the removable flag holders, the badges blue, white and red on the front doors and special 20” wheels.

Renault supplied the first car to the Presidents of the Republic in 1920. It was a Renault 40 CV, which remained in service until 1928, and was used by Paul Deschanel, Alexandre Millerand and Gaston Doumergue.
At the time, it was the benchmark for Renault luxury models and since then, 12 Presidents of the French Republic have chosen Renault for their official travel. The last of this long series was a Renault Espace V made available to the Elysée in 2016.
