Hiring in France is as much a scheduling question as a sourcing one. At UTC+1, that means near-complete overlap with Western Europe and little natural overlap with the US West Coast. That decides whether you are hiring someone who joins your stand-up or someone who hands off to it.
Developers in France cluster in Paris, Lyon, Toulouse and Bordeaux. City counts cover every indexed developer there, not only the ones using COBOL, so treat them as where the country's engineering population sits rather than a count for this skill.
