[depuente]

Could someone give me a list of the top 10-15 best central defenders in France and the teams that they play for?

Off the top of my head I'd say...

Beto (Bordeaux)
Beye (Marseille)
Bolf (Auxerre)
Cetto (Nantes)
Cris (Lyon)
Cacapa (Lyon)
Dehu (Marseille)
Givet (Monaco)
Meite (Marseille)
Mensah (Rennes) *
Squillaci (Monaco)
Talvaridis (Lille)
Traore (Nice)
Yepes (PSG)

* Technically he plays on the right as well.

[Allez Lyonnais]

Here's my top 15.

(in order)

1. Cris (Lyon)
2. Claudio Caçapa (Lyon)
3. Mario Yepes (PSG)
4. Marc Planus (Bordeaux)
5. Efstathios Tavlaridis (Lille)
6. John Mensah (Rennes)
7. David Rozehnal (PSG)
8. Vitorino Hilton (Lens)
9. Frederic Dehu (OM)
10. Sebastien Squillaci (Monaco)
11. Vincent Hognon (St Etienne)
12. Bostjan Cesar (OM)
13. Sammy Traore (Nice)
14. Rene Bolf (Auxerre)
15. Mauro Cetto (Nantes)

I don't see Cacapa as the second central defender in L1. I'd put him after Tavlaridis or Mensah.

Except that, i agree with your ranking.
