It is one of the most beautiful palaces of the Republic. The holy of holies of French politics. One of the most exposed and least known places: the Élysée, 32 million euros budget, a thousand collaborators according to some, a substantial real estate portfolio. The French presidency does not publish the details of its accounts (its official budget is limited to about fifteen lines) and is not subject to any control. Its organization is not the subject of public documents. For several years, a socialist deputy, René Dosières, has taken it into his head to make the Élysée's expenses public.
