I watched Mars Express the other day, a French animated Sci-fi film from last year and it was fantastic. Lots of cool ideas, great style and an interesting story, absolutely gets my recommendation.
I also watched the short series Crisis Jung by the same director, it was kind of like a gay French fist of the North Star, not as good as Mars Express but still a fun watch with lots of gore, dark humour and animated close-ups of arseholes
I've never watched any European animations before other than some tv shows when I was kid, and The Peasants if that counts, (also really good) anyone have any good recommendations?
Fantastic Planet and The Triplets of Belleville are the obvious one and they're definitely next on my list but don't really have any idea other than that

Not sure if you're familiar with the french MMORPG Dofus but there's a lot of media created around it and its sequel Wakfu, including multiple movies and animated series, my recommendation when it comes to animation would be their movie Dofus Livre 1: Julith, it's got some of the most stunning animation I've seen from non western/japanese media
Here's a clip from the movie, also spoiler warning cuz this is basically the best fight in the movie but it's where the animation really shines the most imo
