Description

French papers, 9.11.2010: It's 40 years today since Charles de Gaulle died. We look at coverage in the national and regional papers of that fateful day in 1970 when "France was widowed". Also making front pages, France's most controversial writer Michel Hoellebecq wins the country's top literary award, "Le Prix Goncourt". Finally, a French ad has caused a stir for announcing Santa Claus doesn't exist.
