To be mayor of Neuilly-sur-Seine is to be in charge of a suburb that is a cross between Notting Hill in London and New York's upper east side. This swanky place west of Paris is home to a constellation of French film stars, media barons, business chiefs and politicians. They meet each other at weddings or the school gates as often as they do in the boardroom or television studio. Neuilly's most famous ex-mayor happens to be running the country: Nicolas Sarkozy. He even met his future wife, Cecilia, when, as mayor, he conducted her civil marriage to her first husband.
