He was born on the Caribbean island of St. Martin, and graduated from the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris (UPMC is part of the Sorbonne). UPMC is well-regarded in the sciences, it does offer engineering, but I believe the Sorbonne's principal engineering school is the Université de Technologie de Compiègne. Supposedly English fluent.
According to the link posted, he did not graduate from either, but Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussees.
As to Université de Technologie de Compiègne, I don't believe it is anywhere near the same level. Engineering at UPMC look fairly good OTOH.
