The French in their infinite wisdom have amalgamated their instrument plates into the "textual information" document in the Eurocontrol EAD system. So you'll find them all grouped together in that document.

Obviously this is‌‌ something beyond our control, but we have already made both Eurocontrol and the French authorities aware of what a pain this will cause people who access French AIP documents through SkyDemon and Eurocontrol, and I believe the French stated that they plan to reverse this change sometime in the coming months.

Making representations to E‌‌urocontrol or (better yet) to the French SIA would probably help.
