It turns out that the French president invited Durov to dine together. Pavel told about this during interrogation by the police, the French newspaper Le Canard Chainé claims.

But instead of lunch, Durov was met in France by local police. Macron did not officially confirm this. But local politician Florian Philippot said that this was quite in the spirit of the French president.

Neuroscience uncovers unique brain bond between romantic partners

https://www.psypost.org/neuroscience-uncovers-unique-brain-bond-between-romantic-partners/

Our brains seem to be especially in sync with our romantic partners when it comes to processing emotions. Recent research published in NeuroImage has found that romantic couples exhibit greater synchronization in both behavior and brain activity compared to close friends when watching emotional videos together. This finding sheds light on the deep-seated neural mechanisms that distinguish romantic relationships from friendships.
