I would stay away from their products. Does this friend have one for sale ? Does he not like you ?

Say, that's the company that makes the Diamant and the Rubis, my all-time favorite canopies CrazyCrazyCrazyLaugh

maybe their CReW and accuracy mains are OK, but for an allrounder I'd shop somewhere else...

And I stopped jumping a Rubis in 1997... But the French did win the CRW world meet with them a few times. Great rotation canopy in it's day.

I wouldn't want to bash them, never used any of their products and most don't have a good reputation.

Try the french forums here or www.wuza.com, the french might know these equipments more. And they don't use them much either...
