FRANCE-GERMANY-WWI-SARKOZY-MERKEL
L to R: French Defence Minister Herve Morin, Former French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing, French first Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, French Junior Minister responsible for veterans'affairs and French Minister for Agriculture Fisheries and Food, arrive the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, on November 11, 2009 to take part in an Armistice Day ceremony, marking the 91th anniversary of the end of World War I. German leaders have attended Armistice Day events in France before -- most notably when chancellor Helmut Kohl took president Francois Mitterrand's hand in Verdun, the scene of one of the fiercest battles of the 1914-18 war. But Merkel's visit will be the first time a German leader has attended the Paris ceremonies marking the surrender of Germany after four years of trench warfare that left millions dead.
