Abstract: The purpose of this chapter is to provide an analysis of how the French Government deals with entrepreurial activity, in terms of new venture creation and small business development. Contrasting institutional and cultural dimensions, wich are two sources of authority that influence the process of economic change over time, this chapter discusses how France, which is generally perceived as hostile to entrepreneurship and entreprise creation, is now accepted as one of the three leadind European coutries in terms of its support for entrepreneurship and small business development. However, there still remains a level of cultural resistance which limits the institutional will to make France and entrepreneurial society.
