"President Jacques Chirac died this morning surrounded by his family, peacefully," his son-in-law told AFP.
Jacques Chirac, the former French president whose later years were blighted by corruption scandals, has died aged 86.
The French National Assembly has observed a minute's silence in homage to him. Mr Chirac served two terms as French president and took his country into the single European currency.
