The View from Fez was slipped the details by our French correspondent WW that Sarkozy's ex wife has rushed into a new marriage - with a man from Fez. We checked it out and here is the story.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy's former wife Cecilia Ciganer-Albeniz has remarried at a private ceremony in New York's Rockefeller Center in what has been described as a "revenge wedding".
She wed Moroccan-born public relations executive Richard Attias in the New York landmark's Rainbow Room. Richard comes from the spiritual heart of Morocco - the ancient Medina of Fez.
Arriving in a black limousine with tinted windows, the couple avoided photographers by using an underground car park.
Mr Sarkozy himself remarried less than two months ago.
He tied the knot with Carla Bruni on 2 February - less than four months after the end of his volatile 11-year marriage to Ms Ciganer-Albeniz, to whom he sent a text message eight days prior to the wedding, saying he would 'call it off" if she came back.
Media reports have referred to the New York nuptials as a "revenge wedding". The speed with which Sarkozy and his ex remarried has been much commented on but their speeding is not just restricted to nuptials, as the couple have already experienced their first post-wedding traffic stop together. Cops in New York pulled the pair over yesterday after they were observed speeding and passing dangerously.

Hm.......didn't know this tidbit.
I enjoy your news from Fez and found Paul Bowles comment rather sad.
we live in Marrakech and find the pace of change rather alarming.
no sooner do I photograph something -the airport, the train station, post office etc then they set about 'improving'/modernizing it.
All best wishes
