President François Hollande was facing a private and political crisis after a celebrity magazine published photos it says proves he is having a "secret love affair" with a film actress almost 20 years his junior.
Closer magazine released photos it says shows the 59-year old Socialist leader and his new lover, Julie Gayet, 41, entering an apartment block a stone's throw from the Elysée Palace in Paris.
Valérie Trierweiler, the "official" first lady to whom the president is not married, recently took up residence in one of the wings of the palace.
Closer's Friday edition carried a seven-page report on the alleged infidelity, in which a man it insists is the president arrives on a chauffeur-driven scooter to spend nights in the flat.
Miss Gayet arrives separately. The pair are brought croissants by a man identified as his bodyguard the following morning.

The report in Closer, which angered many in Britain for publishing topless pictures the Duchess of Cambridge in 2012, sparked a furious rebuke from the president, who, however, failed to deny the liaison. Full story...
