I read this a while back, that they’ve fallen off the world stage, so to speak. Decline in French pianists / quality. Not sure which or both. Is it true?

I’d add Aimard, Thibaudet & Chamayou.
Still, pretty bleak compared with the loads of great penists French used to produce in the 20th Century.

Oh, also - Bavouzet 
C tier in my book though
I heard Bavouzet in Amsterdam, at the wonderful Muziekgebouw. He’s elegant and really good, it’s just not going to sear into your life.
No love for Fray?
Not yet. Tru da Vlad’s limited rep taste even narrower dan da Fray’s.
