	Bloomer Bank of France
		France’s economy was hurt by the United States attacks of September 11 and by the poor results of the German economy.
		France was already coming very close to the 3% of GDP in debt, so the thought of increasing government expenditure was not the best option under the Growth Pact of the European Union.
		France openly admitted that they will not cut back on their deficit spending so the ECB is hesitant to cut interest rates.(Cooper and Madigen) This was bold move for French Government and the Banque de France, because they were deliberately defying the European Union, the ESCB, and the ECB.

	Smith, Vera, The Rationale of Central Banking, Chapter 4: Library of Economics and Liberty
		The Bank was financed with an initial capital of 36,000,000 frs., obtained partly from the original capital of the Caisse des Comptes Courants, partly by new subscription by the public and partly from Government funds, obtained from the sinking fund of the national debt.
		The representations of the departmental banks to the Chamber of Deputies, on the occasion of the discussions of the renewal of the charter of the Bank of France, asking for modifications of their statutes in the direction of removing some of the restrictions they contained, were also unsuccessful.
		It was his idea that the aim of the Bank of France must be to discount for all commercial firms of reasonable standing at 4 percent, and he criticised the Bank for not being liberal enough, and it was at his instance that the rate was reduced to 4 percent in 1807.

		He shows how, in the mid-1920s, the bank used every means at its disposal to argue the case for deflation: that is, the reduction of the currency in circulation by means of the repayment of bank advances.
		The Bank of France took the view that it was incumbent upon countries losing gold to take the necessary corrective action, and that when they did the Bank of France was to put no obstacles in the way of the resulting outflow of gold from France.

	Bank Of France
		The Bank of France was founded by Napoleon in 1803 (by-laws which were not finally approved in 1808), with a capital of 30,000,000 francs.
		It was called "a banker's bank." The growth of departmental banks soon resulted in a quarrel with the Bank of France, the question being whether the privilege of note issue should be confined to one bank or bestowed upon all.
		The Bank of France represents a theory of banking in strong contrast with that upon which the Bank of England is conducted.

		We find that the Bank of France was virtually the sole depository of the specie reserve of all the French banks; specie imported into France went either into the vaults of the Bank of France or into hand to hand circulation.
		Banks other than the Bank of France kept in their vaults only enough cash for daily needs, relying for additional needs upon their ability to rediscount commercial paper at the Bank of France.
		The Bank of France was thus virtually the sole depository of all cash in France except such funds as were needed by the banks for their current demands.

		The Bank of France was supported by a loan from the English bank firm of Baring, but, as its commitments mounted, it preferred to restrain the rediscount and to move the bank rate from 4 to 5 percent in January 1847.

		The Bank of France was founded in 1800 by a group of parisian banks as a discount bank with a local monopoly on note issue.
		However, the Bank was criticized for never intervening directly for commerce or industry, but only for great or medium-size banks, and for asking the large banks and the State to share in the cost of rescue operations.
		The Bank oposed the founding of many banks (particularly provincial banks of issue before the Bank's privilege was extended to the entire country in 1848) until the liberty to incorporate was given in 1863.

		But the Bank of France and its board of directors (the Régents, private bankers and large industrialists) were politically opposed to the new left wing government which followed the elections.

		Caixa Bank France, the French subsidiary of the Caixa Holding company (company operating under Spanish law) was offerring an interest-bearing checking account in France.
		Caixa Bank appealed that decision to the Conseil d'État, who referred the matter to the European Court of Justice for a decision on the compatibility of the French legislation with the provisions of the EC Treaty on freedom of establishment.
		In its decision of 5 October 2004, the Court ruled in favour of Caixa Bank, finding that the prohibition on interest-bearing checking accounts under French legislation constitutes, for companies from other Member States, a serious obstacle to the pursuit of their activities via a subsidiary in France that affects their access to the market.
