TF1 showed Sailor Moon at least to the Sailor Moon S episodes. I kinda
stopped watching them (Wednesday morning at irregular times), but they
could be even more advanced than S. (Gotta check it out next week)

I think it's not showing anymore. DBZ has much more success with
kids, and Club Do's getting cancelled anyways. During French
shool vacation, they're airing every morning, and I heard they
were showing Nadia these days.

btw, anyone tried the french translated manga?

I did, not the whole thing, but more than one. They're up to
#10 for sure (Sailor Saturne) and #11 is supposed to be out
these days. The same editor that puts Ranma, Gunnm and DB.

Print quality is good, format is A5 (pocket-sized) and the
art is flipped and touched-up for sound effects. The translation
does include "notes" of sorts at the end of each volume.

I can't really comment on the translation, apart from the
partial translation of names in a wierd manner: none are
fully Frenchified, but some are half-translated.

Usagi -> Bunny Tsukino
Chibi-Usa -> Mini-Bunny
Rei -> Rei Hino
Makoto -> Mako
Haruka = Frederic(Frederique) Tenno
Michiru = Mylene
Hotaru = Olivia Tomoe

Go figure...

A+
