I agree with you, very few french ww2 vintage planes survived.

the mus?e de l'air has the following planes :

2 D520
Dewoitine D520 sn ??
Dewoitine 520 sn 603 or 862 ?

a swiss built MS.406 :
PILATUS D-3801 c/n: 15 J-277

Dewoitine 520 sn 408 was restored to flying condition and later destroyed.

2 caudron 714 survived,
one in Finland, the other beeing restored in le Bourget.

by no means an exhaustive list, but sadly very few machines of that era survived..

hope it helps
