These Featured articles have been identified as among the best articles produced by the Wikipedia community. They have not necessarily been improved to Featured Status by this WikiProject. These articles may be chosen as "Article of the month" or "Personality of the month" on the France portal.

A Featured topic is a collection of inter-related articles that are of a good quality (though are not necessarily featured articles).
