De Gaulle presented secession as one of Algeria’s three possible futures.

Evidence

Either—secession, where some believe independence would be found. France would then leave the Algerians who had expressed their wish to become separated from her. They would organise, without her, the territory in which they live, the resources which they have at their disposal, the government which they desire. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 1049
