Abstract: The paper puts into perspective the political and institutional framework in which French industrial policies are designed. In many rich countries, we observe an increase in States' intervention under industrial policies' objectives. France is fully involved in such a movement given its long tradition of interventionism. To understand the design of the French industrial policy, the paper highlights to which priorities the French industrial policies obeyed in the past, and to which challenges they are going to face in the future. After defining the main tools used by the French authorities, I analyse the three dimensions which frame the design of the policy: the two demons — industry decline and economic planning, the worship of national champions and of technology and the three challenges associated with the European union, the greening of the economy and artificial intelligence.
