Is there any named entity reconginition algorithm trained for the french language?

Question

I am trying to implement a utility for my mobile application to perform some actions based on user questions. I need an algorithm to extract named entities from a text string (French grammar). I have used nltk's interface to Stanford's NER models but it works only for English (A subset of other languages is supported but i can't find French). I have also used Polyglot but it seems that it doesn't do the work very well (Maybe the models I am using are not very well trained). I don't know if there is any free REST API that can do NER for the French language or any other algorithm or even an already trained model for nltk/Stanford NER.
