The French community will be involved with the Mars Sample Return missions and begins to study potential landing sites. Our team proposes several sites for the 2001 Surveyor mission. Studies of these regions are still in progress. The scientific goal of the two first landing sites is the understanding of the early Mars climate. These two sites are focused on processes related to water like run-off or hydrothermal areas. Such processes include possible biochemical investigations for the potential of primitive life on Mars. The third site is devoted to the complex and diversified geology of Valles Marineris. This selection of landing sites takes into account all the technical parameters described on the Surveyor 2001 web page. We also took into account the availability of Viking High Resolution images and of MOC images when possible.
