Can I apply for French nationality if

[frenchquery]

I am married to a Frenchman but no longer resident in France? Does anyone know?
DH and I were married in France 25 years ago and lived and worked there up until 3 years ago. Our 2 DC were born there. During that time I never saw the point of applying for French nationality as we were all in Europe. The Brexit referendum happened just before we moved back to the UK so I am now thinking of applying in case one day we want to move back there and it could be more complicated once we are out of The EU (if that ever happens 🙄)
I have found the relevant info on the French gouvernement website and I know I am eligible because of marriage but it's not clear if you have to be actually resident in France at the time of your application.
Does any one know or done this ?

I have just read back this thread from the beginning and realised I have name changed 3 times 
I am the OP and LadyKylie and user5656 sorry for the confusion
@DramaAlpaca how is your application for Irish citizenship going?

Yes I'm going to the ceremony. I think they're monthly. I was offered March but date wasn't convenient so I'm going in April instead.

Hope you won't have to wait too long to hear!
