The prestige of the grandes écoles is very high. At my university in Canada, there was only one prof in the French department who graduated from the ENS. I don't think it's a coincidence that he was also the only tenured prof who didn't have a doctorate.
Oh what uni was it? (I went to UofT, though I didn’t take french there). Yes, I’ve noticed that people are so impressed when someone says they went especially if it is to X, these exams must be something!
