Peter, the TNNS app has the full qualifying draw, but it looks as if you are correct (not sure about Eden though).

Lily and Katie B in hhe same section.

As a side note, keep an eye out for 14 year-old Daphnee Mpetshi-Perricard.

She has a wildcard into the qualis.

She's the younger sister of 19 year-old Giovanni - who has a wildcard into the main draw

Quite a family event !

Tough draws all round, Coco seems to be a bit of a bogey player for Brits in Grand Slam qualifying.

Katie B and Lily play each other in QR2 if they both win. Unlikely I know

Fiona Ferro has fallen a long way from the 2020 French championships which because of Covid was held in the autumn. In the 1st round she beat  Heather and in the 2nd round beat the 14th seed and future Grand Slam champion Rybakina.She was inside the worlds top 40 then. Since then she has had problems with injury and  a case against her former coach.

 Yes, and just to be clear this is not just a civil case against her coach.

He has been criminally charged with "rape of a minor by a person having authority over the victim and sexual assault of a minor over the age of 15 by a person having authority over the victim."

This is a crime in France which covers victims who are above the age of consent, and who may have indeed 'freely' consented, but where that consent is basically irellevant because the perpetrator was someone older who was abusing their position of influence.

(I'm not saying that Fiona consented, just that is the normal use of the charge) 

It's been an awful time for her

She gave an interview two weeks ago where she said:

"Mais je nai plus mal aux tendons dAchille et jai un peu plus despace dans la tête."

i.e. her achilles tendon is not causing her pain any more and she's feeling a bit better mentally (I've got a bit more 'space' in my head)

I'm amazed that former GS champion Kenin is having to qualify. Are the French that hardcore about giving MD wildcards to non-French players?
