French president Nicolas Sarkozy and wife Carla Bruni are in the market for a “love nest,” and they’ve set their sights on the former abode of Yves Saint Laurent. The only potential complication? The $13.5 million property is just downstairs from Bruni’s ex, Sir Mick Jagger, the Times reports—and buying it could be risky for Sarkozy, who is trying to shed the nickname of “President Bling-Bling.”
“Carla was a close personal friend of Yves and would relish moving into his flat with her husband,” a source tells the Daily Mail. “They want a little love nest where they can get away from the hurly burly of the Elysée, and Yves’s place would fit the bill perfectly.”
