How much of the production in 2023 were to prop up France's ailing nuclear plants?

In 2023 nothing because the plants are back online, but last year a lot. Although Germany does traditionally export electricity to France in the winter because France doesn't have enough to cover electrical heating. Not sure what happened this winter.
French wind production is covering the needs currently. During end of December French production was mostly wind + nuclear.
That's great to hear. Energy-charts has data to 2014, and until last winter Germany exported more to France in every winter month except one, I think February 2022 or something.
