Mrs Macron opted for a stylish pink coat as the cooler months approach, while her husband looked sharp in a two-piece navy suit.
During the day there were likely to have been discussions surrounding the 19th century property's 15million euro restoration plan.
It has been reported that the building will be transformed into a centre dedicated to romantic music by 2022, according to Le Point.
President Macron, 40, and the First Lady, 65, visited the Villa Viardot as part of the French Heritage Days in Bougival, near Paris today
The couple shared jokes and affectionately touched as they attended the historic building
Their outing comes as it was reported that the presidential wine collection holds 14,00 bottles, so precious that few are permitted to enter the cellar where they are stored.
It was also claimed that the chefs who cook for the family use 150-year-old pans and the flowers in the palace have a shelf life of just a couple of hours.
These and other behind-the-scenes quirks of the Elysee Palace had a rare public airing Saturday, when the home of French presidents since 1848 opened its heavy and typically closed doors to a small, but lucky group of ordinary citizens.

Presidential tastes and menus remain one of the best kept secrets of the Elysee.
Chef Guillaume Gomez wouldn't answer questions about the Macrons' meals. The French leader once said his favorite dish is blanquette de veau, a traditional veal stew in creamy white sauce.
'Unlike a restaurant, we work on a daily basis with the seasons, the activity and news events of the president,' he said.
The basement kitchen used to be a horse stable. It was converted at the end of the 19th century and renovated in 1989.

A full set of copper pots and pans from 1845-1865 hang on the wall and are used daily.
Gomez said the copper would corrode if the pans were idle. 'If it's not used - heated, cooled down, heated, cooled down - it dies,' he said.
From the kitchen, a dark corridor leads to one of the most protected places of the Elysee: the wine cellar.
A first room presents a selection of classic wines for working lunches and dinners and a selection of aperitif drinks. The second cellar, much bigger, is protected by a locked door. Higher quality bottles are stocked there and all visitors are banned from entering.

The head sommelier's mission is to select wines that fit with the chef's menu and to buy the finest vintages to replace them: exclusively French, of course.
The multiple underground corridors seem like a labyrinth to outsiders. But the smell of flowers points the way to the florists' rooms.
Three people prepare flower table centers that will then systematically be re-used in other bouquets. The flowers are only displayed when needed for an event, and then immediately go back into cold storage in the Elysee basement.
Flowers come from France and other producers like the Netherlands and Ecuador.
It was also claimed that the chefs who cook for the family use 150-year-old pans and the flowers in the palace have a shelf life of just a couple of hours
Marianne Fuseau, head florist, explained that flowers are matched to suit the tablecloths and tableware 'to avoid any bad taste.'
She also checks the colors don't clash with the clothes worn by visiting heads of state. She uses roses but avoids lilies, too fragrant, and mimosas, because they can provoke allergic reactions.
About 340 people registered on the Elysee website to visit the palace.
The presidency's just opened online boutique sells branded mugs, pens, T-shirts and other products to help finance palace renovations.
A watch with a red-white-and-blue wristband and a tote bag marked 'Premiere Dame' ('First Lady') are among the items. All the goodies are made in France.
European Heritage Days, also called Heritage Open Days, are held every September, with many monuments and sites across the continent opening to the public free of charge. The program was launched by the Council of Europe in 1985, and in 1999 the European Union joined in.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
