Nicolas Sarkozy — at home with Carla’s sweetheart

This video is causing a stir in France because it shows a side of Nicolas Sarkozy that people don’t usually see: the doting husband at home. We learn that Carla Bruni’s term of endearment for him is “mon chou chou”. An English equivalent of this quite proletarian phrase might be my sweetie, sweetie-pie, sweetheart, luv, darling and so on.

Carla Bruni’s words of encouragement for the French President are caught on tape

The video was taken during a session between Bruni and a group of readers invited by Femme Actuelle magazine. The President drops in on the women in their private quarters in the Elysée Palace. He and Carla make a great show of affection. Sarko says that he has just received the Iraqi prime minister and taken a shower after working out. They point out that they only live in those apartments at weekends. Their dogs are called Clara and Dumbledore, by the way.

On a related subject, Sarkozy could soon be joining British parliamentarians in the field of embarrassing expense claims. A magazine called Challenges reports today that the state auditors have caught him out charging an undisclosed amount of private items to his official expense account. No details have emerged yet but watch this space.
