Two Élysée honour guards collapsed alongside Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday during the reception of Slovak President Peter Pellegrini. Their health condition is unknown, Seneweb reports, citing footage from Slovak television.

Two honour guards at the Élysée Palace collapsed on Wednesday 11 November 2026 as Emmanuel Macron received Slovak President Peter Pellegrini in Paris, according to Seneweb, citing Le Parisien.

The first serviceman staggered before falling, causing his sword to drop. Emmanuel Macron and several people present went towards him before Élysée staff evacuated him. A second guard then collapsed off camera as Peter Pellegrini approached the entrance to the palace, according to Le Parisien.
