Paris: Francois Hollande has finally found the perfect First Lady in Julie Gayet, but is too “poly-traumatised” by his previous relationship with Valerie Trierweiler to make their relationship “official”, a biography of the actress claims.

Indeed, with her absence from the public eye, the authors say Gayet, 43, may well have killed off the role of First Lady in France once and for all. ‘L’Intermittente de l’Elysee’ (The Elysee Irregular), the first book about the actress who became a household name when her liaison with France’s president was exposed in January 2014, also revealed Gayet mockingly refers to her “fiance”, long nicknamed Flanby after a caramel pudding, as a “greedy eater and badly dressed”.

The authors said Hollande posed serious security concerns by spending nights away from the Elysee at Gayet’s loft apartment in an eastern Paris district, a stone’s throw from where terrorists twice struck last year at ‘Charlie Hebdo’ magazine and the Bataclan.

She has - at least until the latest attacks - refused a security escort bar in “rare circumstances”, driving around Paris in her white Citroen.

The couple also take pleasure out of playing “hide and seek” with paparazzi. However, it is unlikely, the authors said, that the couple will make their relationship more “official” before the end of his five year term in 2017. Yet, while she may have killed off the role of First Lady, she has the perfect pedigree for the role. “Her mother comes from a big industrial family like many former First Ladies. Her grandfather is one of the last “Companions of Liberation” - French citizens who were decorated by Charles de Gaulle for having helped liberate France from the Nazis - and her father is a renowned surgeon,” said Soazig Quemener, political editor of ‘Marianne’ magazine, who co-wrote the book with Francois Aubel, the cultural editor of ‘Le Figaro’. “She is well-educated, knows how power works, and has been coached by a top PR supremo. If you add to that the fact she is a true Left-wing militant and a feminist, she is perfect for the role - not to mention that she is beautiful and glamorous.”
