PARIS, Nov 25 (Reuters) - The surging euro is posing problems to French exporters, Economy Minister Christine Lagarde said on Wednesday as the single currency hit a 15-month high above $1.51.

"It's a worry for all our exporters, that's quite clear," Lagarde told Reuters at the margins of a meeting organised by the ruling UMP party.

Earlier the euro hit $1.5140, its highest level in 15 months, according to Reuters data. (Reporting by Jean-Baptiste Vey; Writing by James Mackenzie; Editing by Dan Grebler) ((Reuters Messaging james.mackenzie.reuters.com@reuters.net, Paris Newsroom +33 1 4949 5339; james.mackenzie@reuters.com))
