French accumulators

While there is a slight French accent on helicopters here at the moment, I have an open question regarding the provision for maintaining control when hydraulic power is “interrupted”.

The AS350 has an accumulator on each control servo to give control to the main rotor for a limited time; Do later model light French machines with a single hyd. power source, use a similar back-up or do they use a different system to the AS350?
