Who were five man committee that ruled France?

The five-man committee that ruled France during the period known as the Directory (1795-1799) consisted of five directors: Paul Barras, Jean-François Rewbell, Louis-Marie de La Révellière-Lépeaux, Lazare Carnot, and Emmanuel Joseph Sieyès. This government was established after the National Convention and was characterized by political instability and corruption. The Directory struggled to maintain control and ultimately fell to Napoleon Bonaparte's coup in 1799, leading to the establishment of the Consulate.
