In the Hundred Years' War, the French used Genoese crossbowmen. One explanation for this is that French society was so unremittingly feudal (and had already experienced several uprisings during the reigns of Philip the Fair and Charles IV) that further social unrest was feared if a homegrown caste of professional archers had access to weaponry.
