This map references all transformers and distribution lines for the french network nationwide for terminal loops. These are open data: Enedis is a the public operator.

"Poste" is the French Jargon for transformer. BT is for low voltage. HT is for anything >1000V.

Like you will see yourself, the density of transformer is of the order of 10x less than in the US/Japanese model.
