PARIS (AFP) – France's President Nicolas Sarkozy was taken to hospital on Sunday after falling ill while exercising, his office told AFP.
The 54-year-old leader was seen immediately by a doctor and underwent medical tests after falling ill, a statement from the Elysee Palace said.
Later, officials in his office said Sarkozy had been taken to hospital after suffering some kind of problem while exercising at La Lanterne, his weekend retreat near the Palace of Versailles outside Paris.
He was thought to have been taken to the Val de Grace military hospital, a well-placed source said. A military helicopter was seen flying over the Versailles forest.
Sarkozy, who assumed the presidency in May 2007, is a fitness enthusiast, and is often seen jogging or cycling with aides and bodyguards.
Just over three weeks ago, the Elysee released the results of Sarkozy's latest annual health check-up, describing the results of recent blood and heart tests as "normal".
No further details were provided on the tests.

Sarkosy will probably be coming to the US for treatment.
Wow, that’s so informative! “Falling ill” and “suffering some kind of problem” and “thought to have been taken.”
Facts? Journalists don’ need no steenkin’ facts!
The thought of exercise makes me fall ill.
Hope he’s OK.
He is a pretty active fellow and seems to be generally headed in the right direction versus many that are, well...
He seems to be a good man.
Prayers for a speedy recovery.
Aw Geeez.. Facts?
The bain of journalists. :-)
I hope and pray all is well for President Sarkosy.

Best wishes for President Sarkozy.
I wonder if sexercise with the Mrs. is involved???
A very good man, hope he is OK.
Morning, Yup. got your drift. ;-)
LOL! I noticed that as well. They said pretty much nothing over and over, guess they didn’t have much info but enjoyed reporting.
A way to avoid the crowds at the ‘Tour’ finish. I can’t imagine he would not be there or have a role in the final ceremony. Could be a planned exit strategy.
So tedious, having to work one’s opinions around the facts.
Nevertheless, best wishes for Pres. Sarkozy recovery from whatever’s happened to him.
Hmm - she should keep her clothes on - borderline bag-a-bones.

Whose face is that on Sarkozy’s right knee?
Totally off topic but I was at the Tour finish last year. Totally unplanned, my wife and I just happened to plan our vacation for that week and our hotel was around the corner from the Champs. It was really exciting to see.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery for Sarkozy, one of the good guys.
Just for you, then...
