Narrative updated for the September 2026 edition.

France falls five places to 12th at 5.91 (June: 6.13, 7th), the largest drop of the quarter. The private-sector pillar lost 0.67 (9.45 to 8.78) but remains sixth-best in the EU: 57% of the 476 measured .fr domains are EU-hosted, led by Renater, OVHcloud and Eurofiber, while 43% are on non-EU providers (Cloudflare 15%, Amazon 13%). Ranks 6 to 12 are separated by 0.32 point, so the fall in rank is larger than the fall in score. Public-sector hosting is middling (6.67, 11th): www.gouvernement.fr is fully domestic (Gandi), www.elysee.fr is served through Cloudflare, and www.paris.fr is served by Fastly with email filtered by Cisco.

Strengths

  • Private-sector hosting (8.78, 6th), with Renater and OVHcloud as the leading domestic hosts.
  • Sovereign browser share of 17.93% (7th).
  • Government website fully sovereign (Gandi for web and DNS).

Weaknesses

  • Presidency and capital on US infrastructure. www.elysee.fr rates 0.67, www.paris.fr 0.33.
  • Developer density (2.84, 16th).
  • Email. 55% of the measured .fr domains route email through non-EU providers.

Outlook

France's fall is mostly a private-sector story, and the French Tech and SBF 120 sectors of the FRIX show where it comes from. On the public side, the Élysée and Paris websites are the two levers; both have been on US front ends since the first EDRIX edition.

Historical context

2020 baseline

In 2020, France was a "leader," characterized by an ambitious, proactive, and explicitly geopolitical agenda, backed by an extensive legal and institutional framework for open source software.

2024 progression

France has deepened its high-level commitment. The government's Open Source Software and Digital Commons Action Plan (2021) and the creation of the Free Software Council in 2022 institutionalize its strategy. It also championed the "European Initiative for Digital Commons" during its 2022 EU presidency.
