France

Astronauts selected and flown by France's national program and its CNES agency, both independently to Soviet stations and as part of the European Space Agency's astronaut corps. Belongs here: any career French astronaut selected through CNES or ESA. Does not belong here: an astronaut of another European nation with too few members in this atlas to warrant its own subcategory, grouped under International Partner and Guest Astronauts.
