Not sure, but from looking at their homepage I would say no. However, it's my opinion that a US keyboard set up to use US-International is superior, even for writing French (it lets you type a number of characters you can't get with azerty).

If you're on Linux, make sure to use the altgr-intl variant which is by far the best.

Thanks a lot, it might worth the effort, since except WASD there nearly no good KB in FR

Go vintage, get something nice like a G80-3000HAF.
