UK annual natural gas consumption is ~79m cubic meters a year. France is ~ 45m.
So they have less reliance than the UK on gas but are not immune from impacts.
Also worth noting that UK gas production was ~41m cu m. France produced almost nothing.
Conclusions:
- France has a greater reliance of gas imports than the UK,
- is less likely to suffer domestic power cuts due to nuclear,
- may find industrial users bear the brunt of the economic and production impacts
