While a new building for the International German School Paris was being erected on rue Pasteur, the school moved to Rocquencourt—the original headquarters for NATO—for two years starting in 1968. The French withdrawal created space in Rocquencourt for the school to use as temporary quarters while NATO relocated to Brussels. President Charles de Gaulle’s decision to withdraw clearly reflected the tense U.S.-France relations at the time.
