Jacques Chirac , favorite puppet of the "Guignols", had become in his own way an incarnation of the French " SWAG ", even appearing on the T-shirts of trendy young people.

At the height of "chichimania", the French Swag brand sold as many T-shirts bearing the image of Jacques Chirac as of rapper Kanye West . Unsurprisingly, he is the only former French president to enjoy such a status!

The former president told AFP in 2007 that he found his puppet " likeable ", representing him as a beer lover and calling his wife Bernadette "Mom". But "I hope it's also for other reasons that I was elected," he joked.
