     They name themselves Sud-Ouest.Org, but they're on sud-ouest2.org. The domain without the 2 is valid too, but it just redirects to the one with the 2. There must be some interesting story behind that.

     Not a coop in any way, they're a top-down charitable non-profit, but honorable mention because they're so interesting:
     
     zourit.net/ offers Sympa mailing lists and a bunch of other things, but they also develop and package their GPLv3-licensed software Zourit, which is what they use to admin their services:

     They're run by a software company Mithril Informatique and the non-profit Ceméa.
     
     Ceméa – "Centre d'entraînement aux méthodes d'éducation active", Active Education Methods Training Centre – is a super busy non-profit with a thousand press releases, sponsored by a dozen French government departments and agencies and the European Commission. They have two print magazines, have been around for seven decades for promoting youth camps and they're in an international federation with several of their counterparts in other European countries. And yet they don't have am English Wikipedia page.

     Ceméa is rooted in the boy scouts and girl guides movement in France, they're in an international federation that has by now spread to 30 countries on multiple continents, they spun out this platform administration tool as a tiny side-effect of what they're doing, and yet people outside France generally haven't heard of them apparently.
     
     TIL. While evaluating mailing list providers. =)

     My French friend hasn't heard of Ceméa either. =)

     Leaving France and Chatons and looking at what's listed on libreho.st.

     Not a coop, libreops seems to be an unincorporated collective of admins that offers various services including mailing lists. Unlike the mailman- and sympa-based list hosts this one has no archiving. No fees, donations to OpenCollective welcome.

     @clacke so many French ones! Do I detect a pattern, or did you just happen to be deep diving on the ones based there first?

     @michel_slm Only because I went through the list at Chatons. That and libreho.st are the two sources I've found for finding this kind of service.
     
     I'm not done adding providers from libreho.st. After I've added them I will create a new more compact thread summarizing this megathread and cross-reference the two.
