The one that produces presidents is called "Science Po".
Polytechnique is another one.
Same sort of snob elitism though.
Yup - had a french guy studying on an International course in Denmark back in 1993.......... he kept flying home for exams in a 'grand ecole' and seemed very determined to work his way up the greasy pole of French political life.
He wasn't rich, but prepared to do anything to acheive his goals even though it meant he never socialised with the rest of us while he beavered away studying like a totally obsessed maniac.
All very sad - he was basically a decent guy already corrupted by the system before he'd even finished his education!
