Embattled French first lady Valerie Trierweiler to visit India
by The Daily Eye Team January 27 2014, 2:12 pm Estimated Reading Time: 1 min, 0 secsFrance’s first lady Valerie Trierweiler is returning to charity work with a trip to India, an anti-hunger group said, two weeks after she was hospitalized following a report that Francois Holland had an affair with an actress.
Trierweiler, 48, spent a week in hospital to recover from shock and another week resting in a presidential residence near Versailles after the report was published.Celebrity magazine Closer this month published what it said were images of Hollande making a nocturnal visit to French movie actress Julie Gayet’s apartment in Paris.
The head of Action contre la Faim, Valerie Daher, said Trierweiler would go ahead with a long planned private trip to Mumbai on Monday to support the French charity against hunger. “She’s been through a difficult period and is very tired. She feels better, at least enough to make the trip, although we had to cut it short,” Daher said on BFM T.
Hollande has acknowledged the turbulence in his private life and pledged to clarify Trierweiler’s status before a trip to the United States scheduled for Feb. 9, but has steered clear of journalists’ questions about the alleged affair.
