‘French Europe. Me, ambitious? But my dear, if I’d wanted to, I’d have become mayor of Colombey!’ On 7 July 1962, following the visit of Chancellor Konrad Adenauer (on the right) to France, French cartoonist Jacques Faizant paints an ironic picture of the political ambitions of General de Gaulle (on the left) with regard to the future of Europe.
