According to Le Parisien, the former president has been taken to an intensive care unit at the Georges Pompidou hospital in Paris.

Former French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing has been admitted to hospital with a pulmonary infection following complaints of respiratory problems, Le Parisien reported, citing hospital sources.

The 94-year-old politician was hospitalised at the Georges Pompidou hospital in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, where he was reportedly taken to an intensive care unit.

Giscard d'Estaing's son Louis told Le Parisien that on Sunday evening, his father had no particular complaints.

The politician served as France's president from 27 May 1974 to 21 May 1981. Giscard d'Estaing is the longest-lived French president in history.
