This song refers to the story of Marie Stuart.Her mother, Marie de Guise (a french lady), regent of the Scotland after the death of her husband, the King of Scotland, sent her very young daughter Marie Stuart to the "court de France" to save her from the King of England who was seeking for Marie Stuart to kidnap her, and force her to marry and so to take control of the Scotland.So, the very young Marie Stuart got protection at the "court de France" She lived a real dream story of a "little princess", carefully educated as a real future Queen... before she got back to Scotland years after. ...for the rest go to Wikipedia to Marie Stuart. So "get to France" can also be a Metaphor meaning "happiness"
Una de las canciones más hermosas de todos los tiempos. Ojalá nunca se retire, Mike Oldfield nos ha dado verdaderas bellezas acústicas durante décadas. Crecí escuchando su música y sería una lástima que dejase de componer.

I was sort of hoping that that person would eventually get to France. I am disappointed.

Wow, always thought Mike had an amazing guitar tone on this song, but to see him recreate it without even being plugged in is just legendary.
