Thanks for the french links .

The shutdown of the orange.fr web hosting must eventually have happened recently. The aforementioned telecommunications site now has the address
https://www.histelfrance.fr/

I found one more French collector's site affected by the shutdown, and apparently this one now only can be viewed in the web archive. It has been last captured on October 2, 2023:

"Histelfrance" is very upset about the shutdown:
""Chers et Chères visiteurs qui consultez ce site internet régulièrement. Le Groupe Orange a décidé le 15 mai 2023, soudainement, unilatéralement et sans appel possible, de mettre fin aux Pages Personnelles Orange. Les sites hébergés et/ou créés via cette plateforme seront bloqués à partir du 5 septembre 2023 et seront complètement détruits en Janvier 2024.

Après mure réflexion, j'ai décidé de cesser la tenue de ce site internet."

That is: Orange group decided, on its own, to suppress the service. The websites will be frozen after sept. 5th, 2023 and totally suppressed in january 2024. The site's administrator, who is also an Orange employee but never got any help from the company in his efforts to document the company's history, decided not to maintain the site anymore. The site is a pure gem: such a shame!
