PARIS (Reuters) - A French court fined two celebrity gossip magazines on Tuesday for publishing photographs of President Francois Hollande and his actress companion at a presidential retreat earlier this year, her lawyer said.

The court found the weeklies VSD and Voici guilty of breach of privacy, fined them 1,500 euros ($1,116 pounds) each and ordered them to print apologies. Gayet had asked for a symbolic euro in damages, which she was granted.
