I don't know if this was actually a "thing" in the UK at all, on the continent it was - "French House".
There weren't many French pop-music acts getting international recognition before the electornic (dance) music revolution of the 1990s. Jean Michelle Jarre, some dicso outfits. I think that was all. From the early/mid 1990s on the French gained recognition in house and techno circles. Starting with Laurent Garnier entering the dj/rave circuit. Most well known was and still is of course Daft Punk. But there was also Etienne De Crecy, Cassius, or Mr. Oizo.
