Emmanuel Macron sold voters the promise of a new type of presidency for France, but it's unlikely they imagined he would be selling them souvenirs as well.

From watches and colouring books to fancy red, white and blue macaroons, a new line of official Elysee-branded goods celebrating the French presidency goes on sale this weekend.

The initial range of 56 products will be available at a pop-up store in the Elysee courtyard starting Saturday, when France kicks off its annual weekend of open-house visits to official sites normally off limits to visitors.
