IIRC, France exports its excess nuclear power in the summer (little need for AC until recently), but imports during the winter (electric heat for the most part). Mostly to and from Germany, which uses some terribly dirty sources. Don't know if that's changed in the last few years, though.

They did import a lot that one year in summer when all their nuclear plants broke due to low river levels and some sort of maintenance issue.
