Not in France, but same experience here. Telegram has by far the best UX and clients of any chat app, so that’s what I use with my friends and family.

I also know people buying drugs on WhatsApp but you need to get the contact by another mean. You can’t find it inside WhatsApp.
I know absolutely no one using Telegram as a chat app however. Pretty much everyone uses WhatsApp for everything here.

Hi, pleased to meet you. I have around 15 people I only chat with via Telegram just in France.
I'm in France. I use Telegram extensively for chatting with friends (1:1 or group chats) because its UX was vastly better than any of the alternatives when we started a few years ago (stuff like polls to decide when to meet, location sharing to find one another in a crowded place), custom bots, being able to edit messages to fix typos, etc. Nowadays WhatsApp does those too, but UX is still worse, especially on non-mobile.
Meanwhile I know people buying drugs off WhatsApp.
