Updated on 05 May 2008
France has honoured pop diva Kylie Minogue, making her Knight in the Order of Arts and Letters for her contribution to French culture.
The 39-year-old Australian received the prestigious title the day before kicking off a world tour for her album X. Past recipients include Ella Fitzgerald and Bob Dylan.
Culture Minister Christine Albanel called the singer the "princess of pop, the uncontested queen of the dance floor" and noted that much of the star's entourage includes French artists such as clothes designer Jean Paul Gaultier, who dressed Ms Minogue for her forthcoming tour.
