400:. A group of fringing rocks lying off the northeast coast of D'Urville Island. The name "Pointe des Français" (point of the French) was given by Captain Jules Dumont d'Urville (French expedition, 1837–40) to the northeast point of the island which at that time was believed to be continuous with Joinville Island. Surveys by FIDS (1952-54) and aerial photographs by FIDASE (1956-57) have not revealed a definable point hereabout. For the sake of historical continuity in the area, the UK-APC (1978) applied the name Français Rocks to these fringing rocks.
