President Sarkozy to Rest and Recuperate on the French Riviera

We were a little worried on Sunday when we heard that French President Nicolas Sarkozy had collapsed after fainting while jogging near the palace of Versailles. (Of course being the age we are – and him being the age he is – and with our views on jogging – [hate it] – we worried he’d had a stroke.)

So we were delighted and relieved when his doctors said it was a non-serious nerve condition called a “minor lipotropic episiode” (although really what does that MEAN?  It’s Doctor-speak and I hate that too, don’t you?) We were also happy to hear his doctors say that he’d be out of the Val-de-Grace military hospital on Monday.

And yep, sure enough, he left the hospital on his own two feet on Monday morning.

According to the news reports, Sarkozy cancelled his Monday and Tuesday appointments to rest at his

retreat house in La Lanterne.

He’s apparently scheduled to attend a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, before heading down here, where he’ll recuperate on the French Riviera in his wife’s family’s second home located in Le Lavandou.

And honestly, he couldn’t have a better place to recuperate than down here where he’s got access to the sea, the sun and the air that’s known for being therapeutic!

Best wishes and have a nice vacation, Mr. President…
