France AI and Data-Center Policy

The atlas records 10 data-center facilities in France, and the 10 that report capacity total about 1,133 MW.

On the flip side, CNIL (the data protection authority) has flagged data center water consumption as an urgent regulatory gap, signaling scrutiny of the hyperscale buildout alongside the welcome mat.
