I’ve been following the commentary on Macron’s oratory. There’s been quite a bit of debate as to his ability to inspire people.  
I’m intersted in knowing who the French would generally rank as the top 5-10 most inspirational public figures in terms of their oratory. You may not necessariy agree with their politics but nonethess find their speeches compelling.
