A french version of these web pages is available
I've written README files for all subdirectories, which give sizes and descriptions for each image. Also, the list of most recent images (15 days) is in READMENEW.
A list of some astronomical anonymous ftp servers is available.
An index page gives a catalog of the main astronomical resources on Internet.
You should have a look at Skylink, the amateur astronomy www server of France.

--------------------------------------------------------------- The manager of ASTROGOF project at Rennes' University of France and the maintainer of astronomical information on anonymous ftp servers 'ftp.univ-rennes1.fr' and 'ftp.cnam.fr' in /pub/Images/ASTRO & /pub/Astro respectively ---------------------------------------------------------------Here are the directories of the archive:
NOTE: All the images who composed the clickable cards are linked from the ftp server ftp.univ-rennes1.fr:/pub/Images/ASTRO (IP=129.20.254.1)
Bad news: There is a limited quota on the number of users connected in the same time: so, sometimes, it's possible you aren't be able to retrieve images.
Good news: This server (a Sparc Station 2) is now entirely dedicated to Web, Ftp & Gopher and the horrible NFS mounting has gone out ! Moreover, the storage is done on magnetical disks (quicker than the previous ones which were optical). So the speed access has been very increased !
