One of the highlights of incumbent president Nicolas Sarkozy’s mega campaign rally in Villepinte on March 11 was a surprise appearance by one of France’s most famous first ladies –Bernadette Chirac. Minutes before Sarkozy delivered his keynote speech that day, Mrs. Chirac’s petite frame appeared on the massive stage that could have doubled as an airport runway. In full grandma regalia –big hair, smoky glasses, and all– she announced she was endorsing Sarkozy in the election, sending the crowd into near hysterics.
