If you have space, ex-president of France seems more precise.
French ex-president is a bit less clear. There’s a little ambiguity about what kind of president is being referenced, but the article should provide that context.
- vikramkr 6y agoFrance has multiple kinds of presidents?
- cdash 6y agoThere are multiple presidents that are French.
- rakoo 6y agoContrary to the US, when a president isn't president anymore we stop calling him "President" -- it's not a honorary title for life
- Digory 6y agoSure. Président is a common name for a group leader, and it's the French equivalent of CEO. So there are many possible French presidents. "Renault sues French ex-President" would probably refer to Ghosn, not Hollande or Sarkozy.
