A French woman in her eighties who was detained at an immigration enforcement centre in the US has returned to France, the country's foreign minister says.

Marie-Thérèse, who is from the city of Nantes, moved to the US last year after marrying her long-lost love, Billy - an American man who died in January.

Her son sounded the alarm after his mother was arrested in Anniston, Alabama, earlier this month.

"Mum is finally free! It's a total relief," French outlet Ouest-France quoted him as saying following her release.
