Cotillard has spent much of her time in Hollywood since winning the Oscar for her performance as singer Edith Piaf in "La vie en rose" in 2008, but she was back in Paris to receive the decoration from Culture Minister Francois Mitterrand.
Mitterrand, who praised Cotillard's "charm, natural grace and beauty," inadvertently skewered the actress as he pinned the medallion naming her as "Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres" on to her blouse.
She appeared to suffer no damage however and burst out laughing as Mitterrand hastily apologized.

KEV- As far as I know- François Mitterand is the 21th president of the Republic of France from 1981-988. And he died in Paris, January 8, 1996.
This Minister of Culture is <span>Frédérique</span> Mitterand...!
Okay, and now I've gone wrong too- It has to be Frédér<span>ic</span> Mitterand...............................
Foreigner1, I thought the exact same thing and was quite confused for a while! Odd that the Reuters article still hasn't been corrected.
