Kylie Wows France!

Kylie Minogue began her world tour in Paris on Tuesday night - and, not surprisingly, there was a hint of Doctor Who in her stage show.

At one point, the former companion - watched by an audience that included David Tennant - was seen suspended in a spacey web reminiscent of the Game Station Controller's from Series One's Bad Wolf episode.

Meanwhile, vortex-like graphics were beamed onto screens behind her.

Kylie's previous tour featured a Cybermen-themed dance routine.

The day before, Kylie was awarded the prestigious Chevalier dans L'ordre des Arts et Lettres by the French government. She was made a Knight in the Order of Arts and Letters at a ceremony in Paris.

Kylie was given the accolade for her "contribution to the enrichment of French culture".
