PARIS (Reuters) - President Francois Hollande aims to lay out plans for the French economy on Tuesday but a news conference is set to be dominated by talk of his private life after his partner went into a hospital following reports he had an affair.

His New Year's encounter with journalists in his Elysee Palace will be his first public appearance since a celebrity magazine on Friday published photos it said showed Hollande making a nocturnal visit to French film actress Julie Gayet.
