Dear President Macron,
France is in political turmoil, with multiple governments collapsing over budget crises. Bold, creative solutions are urgently needed. Instead of taxing the ultra-rich, something your billionaire friends frown upon, we suggest a proven economic model: the British monarchy, which rakes in nearly £42 billion annually from tourism alone.
Thanks to the judiciary’s steadfast independence, former President Nicolas Sarkozy has been sentenced to five years for criminal conspiracy. October 2025 marks a historic moment as he becomes the first modern French president to actually serve prison time. This unprecedented event presents a golden opportunity to turn La Santé prison into a national monument, much like Mitterrand did with the Louvre.
We propose converting La Santé into a tourist attraction on the scale of Versailles. It would honor justice, boost the national economy, and offer an unforgettable experience for visitors worldwide.
Funding could come from French luxury brands like Louis Vuitton and Cartier or even the Kadhafi Foundation. They have supported cultural projects before without asking for a single cent in return.
We urge you, Mr. President, to seize this historic opportunity. Imagine the headlines: “France Turns Prison into Palace of Justice Tourism.” Visitors from around the world would flock to La Santé, selfie sticks in hand, marveling at the strange concept of independant justice. The budget benefits itself, luxury brands bask in the spotlight, and Sarkozy finally becomes a tourist attraction instead of a headline.
