Gauller than Gaulle, or; France pulls a China

Was wondering, given France's not so rosy stance on NATO in the 1960s combined with growing ties with the Soviet Union - is there anyway for France to go all out and cut itself from NATO behind a larger nuclear deterrant while basically offering the Warsaw Pact a capitalist economic 'window', sort of an inversion of Dengist China's value to the West in the 1980s?

Or more broadly a chauvinist France completely believing its go it alone rhetoric to the hilt and buddying with Moscow just to piss off the West?
 
No unless there is a communist coup in France.

And that's probably not possible. The French Communist Party was very cautious and not the type to launch a revolution. They actually made every effort to separate their workers from radical groups during May 68 - a book I was reading recently talked about how the members of a Situationist committee were deliberately locked out of a Citroen factory by the CGT union bosses after the revolutionaries began trying to include the workers in their organization.

If a revolution did break out under these circumstances it would be despite the PCF, not because of it, and they would be on the back foot and not able to steer France into the Warsaw Pact.

The only way I see the French totally breaking with the West is if a hard-right military coup takes place (maybe de Gaulle dies, so the military takes direct charge in 1958 or 1961?) and this new government is not recognized by America.

This would probably be temporary, though - America would probably grant recognition eventually, if only to prevent the junta from looking for other options (like the Soviets).
 
I am not sure hard-right military coup to get support from the entire army, at best it start a civil war. Most peoples would not welcome another dictature not when the german occupation and Vichy are still fresh in peoples memory.
