This is the most thought-provoking piece I've read lately along the lines of "France is over" but it has nothing to do with Hollande's love affairs. (Admit I immediately thought of Ta Ne-Hisi Coates' recent love affair with the French language and Paris and wondered if he saw it.) 

As far as the "it's over" theme, I could quote Yogi Berra but I think any culture that guards a language that vehemently is never over. (Poland, for example, has been "over" many many times. Still there were people who always said their nationality was Polish and spoke the Polish language to prove it, whether there was a country there or not.) The culture just changes, evolves. Is France the same culture they were under Louis XVI?

Go back to Hollande, his policies, not his love life.  He seems to be very interested in getting heavily involved, often militarily but also in other ways, in the politics of any country that was at one time part of the French Empire. (Well ok, not Haiti! ) While some citizens at home obviously have a problem getting used to immigrants from former colonies being part of their culture, the Hollande interventionists seem to see them as part of their culture precisely because they continue to speak the language.
