Looks like this is it, but it's called "Meet" here:
https://github.com/suitenumerique/meet
This looks suspiciously similar to element call
Element is open source, so I would be very unsurprised to learn it's an Element fork.
E: TechCrunch says "TChap" is based on Matrix (unfortunately in a security vulnerability article):
https://techcrunch.com/2019/04/19/security-flaw-in-french-government-messaging-app-exposed-confidential-conversations/
Nice article, but sounds like he only had access to conversations available to every single government employee? He wasn't able to crack into any direct messages or channels that he didn't get an invite for.
Yep, fork of Element https://element.io/en/case-studies/tchap?ref=element.io
