{{Former President of France Jacques Chirac was admitted to the American Hospital of Paris on Monday night but the matter was \u201cabsolutely not an emergency\u201d, a member of his inner circle told reporters. He was released later the same evening.}}<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is absolutely no critical emergency. We think he has a serious attack of gout,\u201d the source said shortly after the admission.<\/p>\n

A little before 8pm Paris time, a journalist saw an ambulance in front of Chirac\u2019s home on Quai Voltaire in Paris. Two police motorcycles were also in attendance.<\/p>\n

Last December the former president, who is now 81, was hospitalised for a week at the Piti\u00e9 Salpetri\u00e9re Hospital for kidney-stone surgery that was said to have been successful. In 2005 Chirac suffered a vascular incident, which has left him weakened.<\/p>\n

He was France’s president from 1995 to 2007 and twice previously served as prime minister, from 1974 to 1976 and from 1986 to 1988.<\/p>\n

He was also mayor of Paris from 1977 to 1995.<\/p>\n
