Tour de France

This service is temporarily unavailable. The on-line French Embassy was designed as a demonstration project by the non-profit Internet Multicasting Service. We did this project as a public service at no cost to the Embassy.

We have decided to discontinue this service during the period of nuclear testing. Nuclear non-proliferation is an idea whose time has come, and for a world leader like France to violate the testing makes it more likely that other countries will feel it necessary to institute their own testing programs. It is unfortunate that France is unable to maintain a position of moral leadership on this important issue.
