For those in France whose health cover is supplied via the SI form when receiving the UK State pension, the new website for a replacement card is the following:

A European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) gives you the right to access state-provided healthcare during a temporary stay in the EU.
The UK has reached an agreement on healthcare when visiting the EU. You can continue to use an EHIC or get a provisional replacement certificate (PRC) if you need treatment and do not have a card.
If you apply for a card now, you’ll get a new UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) instead of an EHIC.
You do not need to apply for a GHIC if you already have an EHIC. Your EHIC remains valid in the EU until it expires.
Beware of unofficial websites, which may charge if you apply through them. An EHIC or GHIC is free of charge.
From 1 January 2021, GHICs and most UK EHICs will not cover you in Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, or Switzerland.
If you’re visiting these countries, ensure you have travel insurance with health cover and check the GOV.UK travel advice.
If you’re visiting Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, or Switzerland before 1 January 2021, your UK EHIC entitlements will continue until you leave that country.
