Security has been stepped up around French president Francois Hollande after a gun-wielding man tried to break into the Elysée Palace.

The would-be intruder, who has not been named, was arrested at the gates of the head of state’s official Paris home on Sunday afternoon.

It led to fears that the 30-year-old was trying to mimic an attempt on the life of former French president Jacques Chirac a decade ago.

Referring to the latest incident, in which no-one was hurt, a police source in the French capital said: ‘The man was carrying a gun, which turned out to be a replica 7.65mm pistol.

‘He was carrying false papers, and provided no motive for what he did. He remains in custody, and the Paris prosecutors’ office has recommended that he receives psychiatric care.

'In the meantime, security has certainly been tightened around the President.’
