France has been hoping to patch up its very damaged relationship with China following problems between the two nations.
However, China is not at all happy with what has just been done, and on Monday claimed that giving the Dalai Lama citizenship of Paris was a "grave interference" in links between France and China.
China accuses the Dalai Lama of wanting to split the country, but he maintains that he only wants independence for the people of Tibet.
Problems were sparked between France and China, after protests took place during last year's Olympic torch relay through Paris, followed by a December meeting between President Sarkozy and the Dalai Lama.
