Every one of these sits on an official list, published by a body with nothing to sell.

Questions

How many schools does this page cover in France?
200, across 14 cities. Each one is on a published list we link to.
Which city in France has the most?
Paris, with 77. Paris (77), Montpellier (20) and Rennes (15) together hold 56% of what we list in the country.
Are these the only schools in France?
No. These are the ones whose working language a published source states, which is a much smaller set than the ones that exist. A city missing here is a gap in what has been published, not evidence that nobody teaches there.
