Admiral Philippe de Gaulle, son of the general, died at the age of 102. “Let us salute the memory of a formidable father and a great Frenchman, whose sense of duty was matched only by elegance and modesty.
Vision, honor and simplicity, that is ultimately Gaullism.” wrote about X Pierre de Gaulal. The eldest of the de Gaulles' three children was then a senator for Paris between 1986 and 2004 under the RPR label, then the UMP.
