Good thing you posted that, lest the occasional French visitor would run into danger of having to actually learn English instead of the obviously superior French that's more than enough already.
That's interesting but I can't find a single date relative to this project - not on the website, nor while googling. When is it supposed to be tested ?
Also the amounts of funding mentioned in the article I've found seem ridiculously low (30M ??)

Europe need an independent manned access to Space and the time is now:
- Soyuz is old and under-funded. And the Ukraine war destroyed any hope of serious partnership between Europe and Roscosmos for the next 15y.
- Nasa budget is shredded in pieces and hoping any serious scientific collaboration with the current White House banana team is completely delusional.
- China plays solo for its space program. Any serious collaboration for launchers / spacecraft is unlikely.
- Japan is in the same stupid situation than Europe.
In brief: We need something a Made in Europe. More than ever.
