  French Aircraft Carriers

Dassault fighters and attack aircraft have always played an important role with the French Aéronavale.  And from the Etendard IV to the Rafale M these aircraft have been well represented in Flight Simulator.  Thanks to the generous work of addon developers there have also been several French aircraft carriers made available.  Listed below are some third-party freeware aircraft carrier scenery packages.
