Rock and stroll: Pete Doherty, 42, looks barely recognisable as saunters in the sunshine on dog walk with his lover in France

- The Babyshambles and Libertines frontman, 42, was pictured with his girlfriend
- The couple enjoyed a walk through Étretat in Normandy before going shopping
His bad boy rock and roll image earned him an army of fans and saw the world’s most famous supermodel hanging off his arm as they made their way from party to party.
But these days, Pete Doherty enjoys nothing more than a stroll through the French countryside with his dog.
The Babyshambles and Libertines frontman, 42, was pictured with his girlfriend and Puta Madres bandmate Katia De Vidas as they enjoyed a walk through Étretat in Normandy.
The pair looked relaxed and happy and Doherty – dressed in joggers and a t-shirt – was a far cry from his hedonistic heyday, when his debauched behaviour repeatedly landed him in custody for the night.
The once-troubled rocker cut a casual figure for the outing which was a far cry from the days when he would paint portraits of then-girlfriend Kate Moss in his blood.

Last year, the Libertines frontman was charged with driving while disqualified after he was stopped by police at 1.40am while riding an electric motorbike in Margate, Kent.
The Can’t Stand Me Now singer was accused of driving while banned and without insurance.
The former Babyshambles rocker had already been been given a six-month disqualification last October after he was caught speeding four times in three weeks.
On that occasion, at Folkestone Magistrates’ Court, he was ordered to pay £9,228 and he was heard to have muttered ‘ouch’ at the fine.
He blamed a broken dashboard light and claimed he could not see how fast he was driving each time he flashed by the speed cameras.
A picture Doherty drew himself of him and his former partner Kate Moss using crayons and his own blood from 2005 was recently put on sale for £5,000.
For one of Doherty’s previous works, Ladylike, he collaborated with Amy Winehouse, who helped create the self-portrait with her own blood.
The artwork sold for £35,000 in Doherty’s exhibition ‘On Blood: A Portrait of the Artist’ at the Cob Gallery, London, in 2012.
