The communists in France, imo, are vastly exaggerated in their numbers and abilities. Both the French allies - their role in NATO, fyi, would remain as it started here - and the army would want no part of that, and get rid of any attempts. Not that there would be any such support for it.

The biggest change, quite frankly, would be with regards to the Algerian crisis. Without De Gaulle to "swoop" in, you're going to see differences. Fall of the republic, at least. Either going to be a throne offered or a new republican constitution, though. Depends which way it goes and if a royal takes advantage. Yep.
