The Deuxi�me Bureau WAS the French Secret service up until 1940 and the fall of France. Various successor organisations have led to the formation of the DGSE. It's part of the Ministry of Defense and has a main base in Paris (XXe arrondissement). It has satellite base at Noisy-le-Sec in the suburbs.
