Well, the only significant luge run that I know in France is located at La Plagne, Savoy :) (a ski resort which is part of Paradiski=The second largest, lift-linked, ski area in the world)....

Here is the Olympic luge run of La Plagne:

PS: The run was built for the Albertville '92 Olympics...and it will also be used for the Annecy 2018 Olympics :yes: !!
