French President Nicolas Sarkozy arrived in the New Hampshire of the United States to spend his summer holidays, the AFP reported Friday.
Sarkozy is to spend his summer vocation in the upmarket lakeside town of Wolfeboro, a holiday rental company was quoted as reporting.
No official report about Sarkozy's arrival and his official schedule are available.
Sarkozy won the French presidential run-off in early May. The White House welcomed the election result, and said the Bush administration looks forward to having cooperation with the new French leader.
It was reported in June that Sarkozy would travel at the invitation of U.S. President George W. Bush to New York and Washington at the end of September.
U.S.-French relations turned sour in 2003 after then French President Jacques Chirac strongly opposed the Iraq war launched by the United States at that time.
