What is the next solar eclipse seen in France going to be?


Question by Evan L: What is the next solar eclipse seen in France going to be?
It's for an idea I'm working on. I know there's one (Total Eclipse) seen in France on November 5, 2059 but what would be the one right behind that? Total or Partial.

So what would be the last solar eclipse seen before the one in 2059?


Thanks!!!
