Since then, he has progressively withdrawn French ground and naval forces from NATO commands, banished U.S. nuclear warheads from French soil, and sunk billions of francs into a crash program to create a nuclear force de frappe...

France has more than a dozen grandes écoles, but the most famous and the most important are the Ecole Normale Supérieure, tops for teachers; the Ecole Polytechnique, tops for engineers; and the Ecole Nationale...
