French fall out of love with marriage habit. Sarkozy's divorce is in step with a nation ready to break old conventions.
She wore Prada, not Chanel, and was clearly not cut out for the role of France's first lady. But beyond the obvious, kind explanation for Cecilia Sarkozy's divorce lies a more intriguing question: why, in a land of such apparently relaxed sexual mores, was it important for President Nicolas Sarkozy (
as well as for his also now separated Socialist rival, Segolene Royal) to appear to be in relationships as they raced towards last May's presidential election?
