NATO Vehicle Guide (V2) lists the 3rd Foreign Legion Infantry Regiment as stationed in Kourou, French Guiana with a strength of 350 men.
I thought I read somewhere that the launch facilities were intact and the French were still in full control but I'm not sure where (I thought it might have been in the NATO Vehicle Guide but it only lists the Legion Regiment in the French order of battle and doesn't go into any detail) so it might have been speculation / fan work.
