Glad you could restrict yourself to the topic of Paris there Vince.

Wasn’t this the time the CIA sponsored goons tried to get two birds with one stone, Kennedy and DeGaulle together?

Not heard of that before Lori.  I was aware of French OAS operatives requesting help from CIA in assassinating DeGaulle.

JFK's visit in '61 was right in the heart of OAS actions against DeGaulle.  He had survived one attempt on his life in '61 & JFK was known to support Algerian independence too, so for those reasons security was very high for Kennedy's visit.

DeGaulle's life was charmed though.  He survived many attempts on his life, well into double figures.
