French President Nicolas Sarkozy has married his girlfriend, former model Carla Bruni, in Paris, according to the mayor who performed the ceremony.
Francois Lebel told French Europe-1 radio that the bride wore white and looked "ravishing, as usual".
Earlier, French radio station RTL said the couple wed at the Elysee Palace, the president's official residence.
Mr Sarkozy's romance with Ms Bruni has been the subject of intense speculation in the French press for several months.
The president divorced his ex-wife, Cecilia, in October 2007.
