Keep in mind that a lot of armours and weapons were exported, so all styles can be seen in different places in Europe.

We have a few articles on our Features page that cover 16th century armour.

You might be interested in the armour of Charles V:

For technical info, there is no better place than this. ;)

Armour known to be French made out of that time period is pretty rare. A harness at England's Royal Armouries made out of two armours (happens all the time; they look pretty good together, though) traditionally thought to be the Bayard's might be useful.
