As a french tax resident, do I have to pay french capital gains tax on a UK property
I have had a UK property for 11 years (currently let out)

I live in France and have been tax resident here for 6 years.

If I sold the property today, would any Tax be due anywhere?

This 2013 article claims (my bold)

There is currently much confusion since the UK / France tax treaty
changed and one point of confusion is how property is taxed for
capital gains. ... Since the change in the UK / France tax treaty,
capital gains from UK property, for French residents, are now taxed in
France under French rules.

However, details may have changed again as UK HMRC info here (and here maybe also relevant) mentions "...after 5 April 2015..." and may impact the French/UK tax takes under tax treaty's double taxation avoidance principles.

Looks messy. I'd want professional advice.
