On holiday in France last week a E-2 flew over, I couldn't see the marking but would assume it was French? I was on the beach here:

it was pretty low.

We had a Gendarmerie helicopter flying around one afternoon and I remember now that I saw an Atlantique two years ago on the Gironde.

I have seen about ten more E-2s this summer. The tempo of activity seems to have increased this year for sure. They are training at Lakehurst NAS. That base has the new EMALS system installed for testing and pilot practice. I have not seen any jets however. Perhaps they are vectored out over the ocean for noise abatement. Below is a rather old link to the base itself.

I suspect that the E-2 I saw was probably a French one though as it was in France :)
