The French president said that he was going to take a summer holiday with his wife Carla Bruni and his children but didn’t say where.
After he had been admitted to hospital the president had a number of tests but no problems were found by the doctors.
President Sarkozy's recent illness had sparked speculation that his hectic lifestyle is too much for him and he has been nicknamed the "hyper-president".
Although he admitted he needed a rest, apart from pulling out of a visit to the abbey of Mont Saint-Michel on the Channel coast, there have been no more changes, as yet, to the French president’s official schedule.
