Macron married his former high-school French teacher Brigitte Trogneux, who is 24 years his senior. They met at the private, catholic school La Providence in Amiens. At the time, he was 15-years-old.
Early 90s in Europe? Nope. Total non issue. I'm Macron's age and Teacher/Teenage-student romances in those days happened frequently enough that everybody knew a story similar to that, female student male teacher mostly. And nobody would have thought about this as anything close to "Rape" or pedophilia.
I mean celebrated in the present day by MSM. I don't think the public are as okay with these creepy power-imbalance 'relationships' anymore, although there seems to be more tolerance when it's a 'cougar' type set-up
I love how its framed that its just French like us good ol dumb Americans cant get with the program of a romantic love story...well yes I guess I cant.

The press calls it an "unconventional romance". He was 15 when he met his wife- 39 years old. http://nordic.businessinsider.com/who-is-emmanuel-macron-2017-3/

More normalisation ops, doubt it would be as celebrated a 'romance' if the genders were reversed

They are famously loose tho. Like having the dead president wife standing beside his mistress by his casket
