Default FLARM & Transponders in France

Bonjour & Hello!

A few quick questions about FLARM and transponders in France:

1.) Is FLARM required?

2.) When/where are transponders required?

3.) Are Mode-C transponders still legal in France, or are they all
Mode-S now?

Merci & Thanks!

Not legally, but some big clubs require one (specially in the southern Alps)

2.) When/where are transponders required?

Transponders are sometimes required to obtain a clearance in D class
airspace. Most of gliders flying in France are not equipped

3.) Are Mode-C transponders still legal in France, or are they all
Mode-S now?

Merci & Thanks!

Flew last month in St. Auban. FLARM in all gliders at field. Do not
remember seeing any transponders but they may have been there I just
didn't notice and was not told to activate.
