Nice Boat!! It kind of resembles a Benetau and although I don't know much about French boats , my wife and I spent 12 years living and sailing on an Ericson 35 MK2 . I have raced on a lot of different boats from 50+ feet to 30 feet . My favorite was a Swan 52 we delivered for the owner from San Diego to Channel Islands , it was a Frers design and sailed like nothing I had ever been on. It was part of the "Big Boat" series in San Fransisco in the eighties.
