Here my proposal for french manned spacecraft

Propulsion system: EPS10 from Ariane 5 G+ (V∆ of 2742 meter/sec)
RCS and flight electronics: VEB-C from Ariane 5 ES
Capsule based on Atmospheric Reentry Demonstrator, but enlarged to 4,2 meter ø x 4 meter. for 3 cosmonauts.
Power system: Solarcell array from SMART-1 with 1850 Watt
Total mass in orbit: 17300 kg (EPS10 11200kg VEB 1900 Capsule 4200kg)

Alternative the capsule is a manned version of Atmospheric Reentry Demonstrator
with weight of 2800kg and squeeze two cosmonauts in it, as Gemini Analog
