On Tuesday, Wikileaks said it began publishing the files under the heading "Espionnage Elysee" - a reference to the French presidential palace.
It said the secret files "derive from directly targeted NSA surveillance of the communications" of the three French presidents as well as French ministers and the ambassador to the US.
One of the files, dated 2012, is about Mr Hollande discussing Greece's possible exit from the eurozone. Another one - from 2011 - alleges that Mr Sarkozy was determined to resume peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, possibly without US involvement.
A file dated 2010 suggests that French officials were aware that the US was spying upon them and intended to complain about it.

Spying on your citizens and those of other nations is bad enough and not to be accepted lightly but spying on and bugging the governments of friendly nations is abhorrent and illegal , more seriously it's a breach of national security.
Rogue nations aren't limited to dictatorships.

Germany's national intelligence agency had spied on top French officials and on the EU's headquarters on behalf of the US
