INTERVIEW:'There are probably several women inside me.' Carla Bruni wants it all - to be a great songwriter, First Lady and devoted wife. She invites Lara Marloweto meet all three during an interview held in her private house, well away from the Elysée Palace

IT'S BEST TO walk the last 50 metres up the steep, cobblestoned lane to Carla Bruni's house, because it's difficult for a taxi to turn around in the narrow cul-de-sac. This hidden corner of Paris' 16th district, with its villas and walled gardens, reminds you of Montmartre painted by Maurice Utrillo, or Paris of a century ago, as photographed by Eugène Atget.
