Mimicking the description of spinning particles in General Relativity, the
Fermat Principle is extended to spinning photons. Linearization of the
resulting Papapetrou-Souriau type equations yields the semiclassical model used
recently to derive the ``Optical Hall Effect'' (alias the ``Optical Magnus
Effect'') for polarized light.
