The table below is an index to 65 existing French traditional carillons, in order by the pitch of the bourdon (heaviest bell of the main keyboard range). Instruments with the same bourdon pitch are in descending order by number of bells, then by missing semitones, then by state. The key to the four column headings is at the end of the table, along with some other notes.

Notes:
The table is sorted first on the pitch of the bass bell, then on the number of bells, then on the chromatics indicator, then on state/province. The actual weight of the bass bell is not used.
The weight range indicators for each octave are only gross approximations, and should not be taken to represent any specific bell.
