This is very misleading.
Yes, last winter France imported a lot, because more than 4 reactors were shut down for maintenance due to corrosions problems that has been found.
These problem should had been found earlier, and would allowed to make the maintenance before the winter, but due to covid, inspections have been postponed.
For example, 01/11/20 to 26/12/20 (their website allow only 8 weeks period graph) you can see that overall France exported a lot of electricity to other EU countries in the middle of the winter.
