![]() The centre-right newspaper, Le Figaro, a loyal promoter of all the President's activities, published a rather beautiful front-page photograph of Mme Bruni yesterday and proudly announced her as the "President's girlfriend". A mediagenic love affair with one of the world's most beautiful women might seem to be not such a bad idea. The collapse of his marriage tarnished his all-conquering reputation, especially among French men. On the other hand, President Sarkozy's opinion poll ratings are starting to melt.

Oddly enough, one of Ccilia Sarkozy's implied criticisms of her former husband is that he was too driven and lacked a feminine side to his character. I find feminine men very virile and macho men very fragile. The one thing all the men I've loved have in common is a strong feminine side. Explaining her choice of men, Mme Bruni once said: "Desire is not very precise in my case, so I never choose. Otherwise, music does not appear to feature greatly in his busy schedule.

The happy couple went to Disneyland Paris together at the weekend and posed radiantly for the paparazzi photographers who followed them to the theme park.
