"She can’t even open a window at the White House," the French first lady said. "She can’t go outside. She’s much more constrained than I am. I go out every day in Paris."

Macron's comments came as she returned to Paris from a state visit to the U.S. with her husband, French President Emmanuel Macron.

During that trip, the Macrons met, dined and posed for photos with the Trumps. Brigitte Macron told Le Monde that Melania Trump was "kind, charming, intelligent and very open," but worked to hide her true personality.

"Everything is interpreted, over-interpreted," Macron said. "She’s someone who has a strong personality, but works hard to hide it. She laughs very easily, at everything, but shows it less than I do."
