The Fouchet Plan (French: Plan Fouchet) was an unsuccessful plan written by Christian Fouchet, France's ambassador to Denmark, and proposed by French President Charles de Gaulle in 1961 as part of de Gaulle's grand design for Europe at the time. The idea was to form a new 'Union of States' between France, Italy, Germany and the Benelux countries, an intergovernmental alternative to the European Communities which had been created a few years prior.
