At the upper end of the validated supercentenarian numbers (113+), and similar to the analysis Guillaume has done ...
France is generally the third highest achiever in terms of persons from France or its recognised territories. The USA and Japan dominate all but the 118+ group.
The numbers and placings for France appear to be.
113 - 38 cases - 3rd
114 - 15 cases - 3rd
115 - 5 cases - 3rd
116 - 3 cases - 3rd = with ITA
117 - 2 cases - 2nd = with USA
118 - 2 cases - 1st
119 - 1 case - 1st = with JPN and USA
120+ - first with the only case.
