Yes, you can apply it in Marseille Chinese Visa Application Service Center at 165 Avenue du Prado, 13008 Marseille. But it's not guaranteed you will get it. Generally, the rejection rate of applying in the third country is higher than in your home country. Anyway, good luck to you!

Hi, at present, it is not available to apply for a visa on line. However, you can just apply it in the China visa application service center in London as long as you can offer the original and photocopy of the valid proof of legal stay, residence, work or study in London. Make sure to fill an application online and then make an appointment. Learn more on the official site: https://www.visaforchina.cn/LON2_ZH/index.shtml

Chinese Visa application for French citizen
Please could you advise if a French citizen needs to send off their passport with Chinese Visa application or if there is an e-visa application. If the Visa cannot be applied for electronically do they need to attend the Embassy for an appointment.

The visas are issued by China visa application service centers. There are 4 offices in 4 different cities in France. You need to go there in person for the application. Before going, make an appoinment at first. This is their offical web: visaforchina.cn/globle/
