We count only offers whose data-centre country is published by the provider: 2 in France (Nebius, OVHcloud), 1 in Germany (IONOS). If where your data sits matters (contracts, latency, GDPR transfer questions), this is the comparison that counts; otherwise the cheapest EU-wide H200 is €2.60/h at Seeweb.

Why France? Context in 3 lines

Power: €143/MWh wholesale (Sep 2026, 4th cheapest of 9). Grid: 30 gCO₂/kWh (Jun 2026; EU average 189).
Mix: largest source nuclear (69% of generation), then solar (11%), Jun 2026. Net exporter of power that month.
Here: we track 15 public GPU prices from 3 providers with a data centre in France (Nebius, OVHcloud, Scaleway).

GPU cloud prices are set by each provider; electricity is only one of their costs, so a cheap-power country doesn't guarantee cheap GPUs. Country averages from Ember (CC-BY-4.0), not a specific data centre's contract. Compare all countries →
