I don't know where you got the idea — that corruption in France is significant — from. Care to elaborate?

  Transparency International (an NGO fighting corruption) rates France at 26th, India at 84th and Russia at 146th. The league table can be found here : http://transparency.org/policy_research/surveys_indices/cpi/2009/cpi_2009_table http://transparency.org/policy_research/surveys_indices/cpi/... . It doesn't seem that France is overly corrupt (if maybe overly bureaucratic) and I'd like to second your question for clarification.

    Thanks for the link. There is no doubt that France is overly bureaucratic — but having lived there for almost 25 years, I've only heard about a handful of corruption cases.

      The corruption I've seen isn't actual corruption as it isn't inhibiting the proper processes, however a lot of the government officials seem to be prone to 'doing favors' in receipt of something. I've seen this in the UK and Canada, but France seems to be more accepting of it.
