Paris - President Nicolas Sarkozy and France's new first lady Carla Bruni on Tuesday won a lawsuit filed against budget airline Ryanair for featuring a photo of their couple in an ad campaign.

The Paris court ordered Ryanair to pay Bruni € 60 000 in damages, well short of the €500 000 the former supermodel-turned-pop star was seeking for the unauthorised use of her image.

Sarkozy was awarded a symbolic sum of one euro in damages, as he had requested.

The advertisement, printed last week, featured a photograph of the couple smiling dreamily while a caption next to Bruni reads "With Ryanair, my whole family can come to my wedding."

The 53-year-old Sarkozy's highly-publicised whirlwind romance with the 40-year-old Bruni was clinched by their wedding last weekend.
