Abstract	This article presents a brief overview of the current state of distance education in France. We commence with a brief introduction to the country itself, followed by a descriptive, albeit highly abbreviated, overview of the history of France's educational system. We then turn our attention to specifically examine certain implementations of online education currently employed with the French higher education context. Selected for particular attention in this manuscript is France's "Conservatoire national des arts et métiers, Cnam" (in English, the "National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts," or CNAM) and the "Centre national d'enseignement à distance, Cned" (in English, the National Center for Distance Education, or CNED) as 2 salient examples of the manner in which France has chosen to integrate distance education within higher education. We conclude with key reflections arising from the content presented in this manuscript. (As Provided).
