Not sure about the cockpit (I'll check), but on Concorde all the stencils on the outside panels, doors, etc. were in both English and French (I'll try to find some photos).
Made sense, because most of the ground personnel would not have had any English at that time...
Not sure if it's still the same on the current Air France fleet, though....
