Nicolas Sarkozy is famed as the Alpha male of sweat-drenched morning runs and bull-herding dressed as a cowboy. But France's new president will surround himself with women this week when he appoints the country's first gender-balanced cabinet, a symbolic blow against the age-old chauvinism of French politics. * }" B( ~! {8 J!

Yet although Paris can't get enough gossip about the women in his life, from the names of his future ministers to his tumultuous relationship with his wife, Cécilia, his real first lady is his mother. ( z. z0 N1 ]' P- n" [ R) W1 X- I' }% M8 eAndrée Sarkozy, the petite, 81-year-old Madame mère, has been a dignified media fixture for more than a year in the run-up to the presidential race, appearing on TV politics shows to assure the nation that her boy is not a monster, as he is painted by his critics. Never has a French president's mother been so present, and so involved in image-building - even if one satirical weekly said Mrs Sarkozy, known as Dadu, was accidentally left behind on the pavement as his motorcade drove off for a Champs Élysée victory spin on election night. / `3 m) P- V, _) f' F, s( b" v.
