Assassination of John F. Kennedy
The couple welcomed Dwight Eisenhower and the Kennedys during their tenure. In 1961, when the American presidential couple John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy were invited by General de Gaulle, she took the initiative to forge links with the American first lady by taking her to visit the childcare school located on Boulevard Brune in the 14th arrondissement. After the Assassination of John F. Kennedy two years later, Madame de Gaulle invited her to rest and avoid media scrutiny in Paris.
