Hugh Grant and ex-girlfriend Jemima Khan have been hunting for a Paris love nest.

The couple - whose three-year relationship ended last February - met in the French capital last week, where Jemima viewed a few properties in the trendy Left Bank area.
A source told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper: "They were in touch with a number of upmarket estate agencies and they showed an interest in one of two properties in the centre of town.
"Money was no object, of course, although privacy and security were paramount."
Earlier this week, friends insisted the couple had not rekindled their romance and it was only coincidence they were in Paris at the same time.
Jemima, who has been dating businessman Ben Elliot, was shooting a perfume campaign for Azzaro, while Hugh, 47, was meeting a film director.
However, sources close to the 'Four Weddings And A Funeral' actor insist he is desperate to spend the rest of his life with Jemima.
A friend said: "Hugh has admitted he really messed up with Jemima. He has spent months regretting their break-up. At the time he didn't want stability and marriage but now he is sure that is what he wants, and he wants it with Jemima.
"Jemima has been having fun but she never really got over the split with Hugh. She wants to marry and settle down."
