Sarkozy pays price for free holiday estimated at Euro 44,000.00 for the two weeks
French President Nicolas Sarkozy has put an end to media speculation over who is paying for his holiday. In a phone call to Le Monde newspaper, he said he was invited by two millionaire families with whom he is friends. Le Monde estimated the two-week stay in the villa in the American resort of Wolfeboro cost about 44,000 euros.The generous friends are the head of Tiffany jewellers, Agnes Cromback and a director of fashion house Prada, Mathilde Agostinelli.
Talking about Sarkozy's policies after 100 days in office, opposition Socialist leader Hollande said that what French people do not want is for the rich to get richer at the expense of the rest of the population.
It is a problem that previous French leaders never really had. Jacques Chirac's holidays, for example, tended to be in more low-key locations. But there is no such thing as a free holiday; a little less privacy is the price Sarkozy has had to pay for the glamour.
