Paris: French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy launched a website today to publicise her charity work and give the world a glimpse of the former supermodel`s life in the Elysee with President Nicolas Sarkozy.
Bruni, who already had a successful career as a pop star before marrying the twice-divorced Sarkozy after a whirlwind romance in 2008, already has a website dedicated to her musical career.
The new site, www.carlabrunisarkozy.org, covers three topics: a foundation to help the underprivileged in France, her work as ambassador for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and life as France`s first lady.
When it went online the site was immediately swamped by visitors, with a notice stating that it "was a victim of its own success" and requesting visitors to try again in a few hours.
Bruni`s launch came just days after her husband took another big step in the Internet communications world by saying he would track his every move at a forthcoming climate summit in Denmark on Twitter, the microblogging website.
Sarkozy already has a page on the social networking website Facebook.
