The East Wing has not announced it, but First Lady Michelle Obama will head to Paris next week, after accompanying President Obama to Normandy to mark the 65th anniversary of the June 6, 1944 landing of Allied troops on French shores.
Mrs. Obama's press office only disclosed that the First Lady would be in Normandy on Saturday. "She'll have no public events beyond Normandy," I was told on Tuesday afternoon.
But it turned out there was a high-level leaker in the White House -- President Obama -- who dropped the news in an interview with a French television outlet that Mrs. Obama's visit to France is likely to be more extended.
Obama told Canal Plus reporter Laura Haim in an "interview exclusive de Barack" about Mrs. Obama's travel plans.
"I think she's definitely coming to Normandy with us. And then I think she may be staying in Paris for a few days," Obama said.
Another source told me daughters Malia and Sasha will also be in Paris.
My very well-informed French connection told me for the "private" part of the Obama visit in Paris, plans are changing all the time.

Sheesh, I think it’s because a muzzie can’t be married to a non-muzzie without something being said/done, etc. Anyway, it would be terribly un-PC for him to show up with her there.
