Four months for man who attacked French president.
A medieval combat enthusiast has been given four months in jail after he admitted slapping French President Emmanuel Macron.
Damien Tarel told the court it was an act of impulse, but the prosecutor said it was a "deliberate act of violence".
The court heard that Tarel subscribed to right-wing or far-right politics and was close to the yellow-vest movement.
President Macron said the attack should not be trivialised but had to be kept in proportion.
He had just left a hotel school in the south-eastern town of Tain-l'Hermitage when he ran towards a crowd waiting behind a metal barrier.
