The development of radio telescopes and laboratory characterizations of molecular radiation leading to identification of the constituents of interstellar clouds is summarized, and current French radio astronomy programs are outlined. Attention is focused on the low millimeter molecular operation (POM) program, which involves spectral analysis of interstellar molecular transitions in the frequency range 75-115 GHz. Two interferometers at Bordeaux are utilized for the study of the structure, kinematics, and chemical abundances of the molecular clouds. Observations of the dark Taurean clouds have mapped ions and molecules such as NCO(plus), H-13CO(plus), C-13O, and C-180. The large scale structure of the Galaxy has been investigated in terms of the C-13O component.
