Isnt the French CVF using catapult method, while brits use the STOBAR.
They are indeed -- one of the centerpoints for design is the E-2 Hawkeye the French Navy will employ for some time to come. Supposedly there is a capabilty for backfitting catapults to the RN CV, though that's an awful lot of steam pipes to be routed/fitted if they aren't already in place...
