He was a "khâgneux" at Henry IV. Basically a highly challenging literary course for 2 or 3 years in one of the most prestigious schools of the country, which essentially is meant to give access to god-tier studies later. Plus there's not many other country leaders having a solid literary background. Historically, however, François Mitterrand was known to be an avid reader, and read more than 10 000 books in his lifetime (so, one every three days on average during his whole life).

Well if we look at French president, Pompidou seems to be the obvious answer. He published an Anthology of French poetry which is good. But mostly he could answer the question of the journalists by quoting poets from memory (and not only one or two verse). Here he is quoting Eluard (note also how much time he reflects on the question, something which is not possible nowadays in our time in which politics in not better than a rap battle):

"The pair first met in 2016 when Houellebecq interviewed the then minister of the economy. Houellebecq was guest editor of Les Inrockuptibles, a cultural magazine, and he thought it would be interesting to chat to the young whizzkid. Houellebecq later told friends: ‘He’s bizarre. When I arrived, he jumped on me and kissed me.’ The author made such an impression on Macron that he invited him to dine at his apartment in Bercy. This time it was Macron regaling friends with an anecdote, of how they’d talked so late into the night that Houellebecq slept on his sofa.

Last week, Macron awarded Houellebecq the Légion d’Honneur, France’s highest distinction. Some were surprised the author accepted, but according to a presidential source, Houellebecq is ‘respectful of institutions’. The story goes that a few weeks before Christmas, he had dined with one of Macron’s advisers and during the meal complained at his lack of official recognition."

A student later recalled that Nixon was barely audible and his sentences had no structure. Towards the end of the visit the crowd of students had grown to 30 and a student told Nixon, "I hope you realize that we're willing to die for what we believe in", to which he responded that "Many of us when we were your age were also willing to die for what we believe in and are willing to do so today.
