PARIS (AP) ? President Nicolas Sarkozy has paid a call to a private medical clinic in Paris amid reports that his wife has already checked in for the expected birth of their first child.
Sarkozy was seen entering the small Muette Clinic on Wednesday, then rushing out 30 minutes later to keep an evening appointment in Frankfurt on the euro debt crisis.
The child of 43-year-old Carla Bruni-Sarkozy and her 56-year-old husband will be the first infant born to a sitting French president in modern times.
Bruni-Sarkozy, a singer and former supermodel, has a 10-year-old boy from a previous relationship. Sarkozy has three boys from two previous marriages and is also a grandfather.
