French reaction to Strauss-Kahn's release

The former head of the International Monetary Fund is expected to be released later after being granted bail of $1m by a court in New York.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn is facing seven charges of sexual assault and attempted rape of a hotel chambermaid.

He has been ordered to be kept under house arrest with electronic monitoring.

Mr Strauss-Kahn denies the charges. He was political heavyweight with ambitions for the highest office of president.

So how is his home country reacting to this most public of scandals?
