Do we have to declare returned loan from our daughter?

Our daughter in the UK recently sold her house and returned some of our input which was given as a gift to us. This money has been returned to my wife and I in France but we wonder if we are meant to make a declaration to the French tax office?  D.W.

No, the return of capital on a UK loan is not declarable.
