His comments were quickly shot down by the French branch of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), which said that far from making the world a safer place, they made it more dangerous.

"The international context does not allow for any weakness... the era of nuclear deterrence is therefore not over," Hollande said on a trip to an air base in the southern city of Istres.

"In a dangerous world -- and it is dangerous -- France does not want to let down its guard," he said.

"The possibility of future state conflicts concerning us directly or indirectly cannot be excluded."
