France doesn't need to build new reactors largely because it's existing reactor fleet is still enough to fulfill demand. That's one of the biggest advantages of nuclear power, it lasts for the better part of a century not a decade or two. A serial run if reactor production makes more sense once the disparity between supply and demand is greater.
I'll be interested in renewables once Germany's carbon intensity per Watt is on the same order of magnitude as France. They need to drop from ~500 grams per Watt to under a hundred.
