From the 01 January 2021, divorce procedure in France is substantially simplified for spouses connected to France but with some international element, for instance married in France but living abroad, married abroad but at least one spouse is a French citizen.
Before 01 January 2021, it was compulsory for spouses wishing to divorce in France to travel to France which could prove complicated especially with the current travel restriction.
The procedure is now essentially a written one where spouses can be represented by a lawyer.

The practice is available to answer all your questions.
