Unsure if any are active or not, that isn't something I pay too close attention too personally unless it is local music, but here are a few recs from what I could Google about them being active (or at least not disbanding)
Alcest
Blut Aus Nord
Sortilège (reformed in 2019 after a long hiatus)
Bran Barr is good folk metal but only two albums though over 10 years, technically never disbanded.
Igorrr is the best metal period, not just French. Very experimental but it goes hard. Imagine Frank Zappa, Aphex Twin and Dead Can Dance writing a metal album and you get Igorrr.
I love doing this! French metal is slept on and Arabian pop slaps.

I enjoy Landmvrks but otherwise don’t know any heavy French music. Got any reccs for currently active bands?
Gojira kicks ass but all their stuff is in English.
Oh wow I’ve listened to them and even seen them with Mastodon but I didn’t know that Gojira was French
