I couldn't help observe today the interactions between Macron and Merkel today during their commemorations of the end of WW1
The first clip:

Then they boarded the train(replica) where the Armistice was signed in 1918 and latterly where the French surrendered to the Germans. (Sorry cant find the complete video clip)

She does not appear to be a woman who shows her emotions in public. However on these occasions she does appear to let down her guard.
So:
1. She either fancies him :S
2. Or she was somewhat humbled and there is some actual genuine recognition for the behaviour of her predecessors.
3. Or she is desperate for France to become a strong political ally.
May be a combination of all 3 but I got the impression it was largely 2 or I was taken in by her acting skills.
