I’ve been told that there is a goldmine of French comics and sci-fi but not sure where to start. I have an omnibus of the one that Fifth Element was inspired by but that’s it. Any recommendations?

Valérian and Laureline?
In addition to the Fifth Element, Luc Besson also wrote and directed an actual Valérian movie. It wasn't very good.
That’s it! Yea, I remember Nerdrotic and Razorfist recommending the comic but not the movie
Maybe you saw his video, but just in case: [Enter Bandes Dessinées: The Best-Kept Secret in Comics (https://youtu.be/_EQpXHW8vrY)
He mentions some that have been already listed by others here. In addition, there's some timestamps in the comments for a few other titles such as The Long Tomorrow, Servitude, Undertaker (+ 'Blueberry'), Conan: The Cimmerian and Durango. Durango is a wild west comic which isn't(?) available in English but he seems to have translated 8 of them himself. If you're interested you can find the links to the translations in the video description.
Thanks!
