There are some specialized schools from which many of our ruling State politicians originate, such as the École Nationale d'Administration (ENA), itself open to anybody. Some high officials who administer the State's more technical bodies may also come from the École Polytechnique (X), primarily an elite school of engineers. Previous president Valéry Giscard d'Estaing (note the particle) was one of them. Regional administrators frequently come from the Institut national des études territoriales (ENET).
But France is a democracy, so there is no instituted aristocracy or aristocrats.
Still, many politicians and company rulers navigate in the same sphere and could be considered to form an informal aristocracy of sorts.
If you mean the Nobility, there are about 3,000 families with nobility titles today.
These titles don't confer any privileges, which were abolished during the French Revolution. Over 350 of these titles were conferred during the unstable period immediately after the French Revolution (monarchy, empires, Restauration).
