France falls for Nicolas's golden boy, Jean Sarkozy THE French may have lost their affection for Nicolas Sarkozy, the reform-minded president, but they are falling under the spell of his son Jean, whose eye-catching initiatives in an affluent suburb of Paris have put him under the spotlight. With his golden locks and dazzling smile, Jean Sarkozy looks like a film star - he happens to be a keen amateur actor - and has inherited his father's political ambition. Now he is playing the leading role in a drama that they are calling "the rise of the dauphin".
