             Re:  Gaz de France S.A.
                  Request to Withdraw Registration Statement on Form F-6EF
                  File No. 333-151695

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In accordance with Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), on behalf of Citibank, N.A. (the "Depositary") I hereby
respectfully request withdrawal of the above-referenced registration statement
on Form F-6EF, together with all exhibits thereto (collectively, the
"Registration Statement").

The withdrawal is requested solely as a result of a filing error relating to
improper EDGAR coding. The Registration Statement should have been filed under
Form F-6 and was erroneously filed under Form F-6EF. No securities were sold in
connection with the offering. Paul Dudek of the Division of International
Corporate Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has
concurred that, in order to remedy the filing error, the Depositary should
withdraw the Registration Statement and promptly re-file it under the correct
form type. Accordingly, the Depositary intends, after submission of this
withdrawal request, to immediately re-file the registration statement under Form
F-6 for the Gaz de France S.A. American Depositary Receipt program.

On behalf of the Depositary I also request in accordance with Rule 457(p) of
the Securities Act that all fees paid to the SEC in connection with the filing
of the Registration Statement be credited for use in the immediate re-filing of
the Form F-6.

If you have any questions with respect to this request, please call me at (212)
336-2301.

                                                    Sincerely,


                                                    /s/ Herman H. Raspe
