French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his girlfriend Carla Bruni are suing low-cost airline Ryanair over a picture of the couple it used in an advert.
The photo shows a thought bubble coming from Ms Bruni, saying:
"With Ryanair, all my family can attend my wedding."
Ryanair has apologised for using the couple's image without their consent, but insists it meant no offence.
The couple's lawyer, Thierry Herzog, is quoted by AFP news agency as saying her damage claim was based on the fact that "the average cost for using her image for visual advertising on French territory was in the region of 500,000 euros".
