France built a lot of nuclear, but it isn't really sustainable, or all that clean. Their choice now is throw more money at it, or take the cheaper route with renewables. They will build at least some new nuclear, to keep their supply of weapons grade material and expertise up.
At the time it was a reasonable decision. Nuclear was promised to deliver much, and to be fair looked like it might. But now we have the benefit of hindsight, and more important we have better alternatives.
