This is what I said, I was talking about the ludicrous 50% capacity factor for onshore wind.

Well I never said "onshore". Nevertheless, wikipedia has an example of an onshore wind farm with 60.2% in 2015: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacity_factor#Wind_farm

There is currently no offshore wind park in France.

Maybe you mean to compare wind in France with world best wind, but this is what you wrote.

"nuclears capacity factor in France (the country with a high nuclear buildout) is about 72%, while that of wind is about 50%"

[kragen]

There are a number of onshore wind farms that reach 50%, but a better average for onshore wind is 35%. But offshore wind can reach 60%, and so 50% is a reasonable overall average, depending on where you expect wind farms to be built in the future.

And the onshore wind in France is 21%, and that is a fact you can easily check on the internet with public numbers.
