Per NATO Vehicle Guide (V2 - French units aren't listed in V1) units not deployed to the Gulf were assigned as follows
4th Airmobile Division
Location: Nancy, France
Subordination: I Corps
Strength: 3,800 men
6th Light Armoured Division
Location: Antwerp, Belgium
Subordination: III Corps
Strength: 4,400 men
Tanks: 36 AMX10RC
27th Alpine Division
Location: Grenoble, France
Subordination: I Corps
Strength: 4,400 men
Looks like some pretty substantial shortfalls in manpower compared to the figures in RN7's post - e.g. 27th Alpine is at almost half strength.
