Seems rather anodyne and doesn't seem to have much (or anything) that could be considered sensitive the fact that a state has installations like say RAF chicksands or the Lincolnshire poacher numbers station - both of which have Wikipedia articles.

Sounds like some french civil servant overracted - though unfortunately the French do have a nasty poujadist anti American strain that can come out at times.
