Famous Birthday of The Day - Valéry Giscard d'Estaing

Todays celebrated famous birthday of the day is Valéry Giscard d'Estaing

Valéry d'Estaing served as president of France from 1974 to 1981. His tenure as president was marked by modernization attempts, such as the development of the high-speed TGV train and greater reliance on nuclear power for energy, as well as attention to social issues such as divorce, contraception, and abortion. Why is he sometimes referred to as "l'Ex," the Ex?

His name is often shortened to "Giscard" or even "VGE" by the French media. A less flattering nickname is l'Ex (the Ex)
