Dear Sir or Madam, We OpenStreetMap contributors are very proud to see that you are using our work at for example https://www.annuaire-inverse-france.com/annuaire-entreprises/bretagne/finistere/brest/administrations-de-la-defense-et-des-anciens-combattants/service-hydrographique-et-oceanographique-de-la-marine/0298221699 Many people and systems, including your use as a background map would not be possible without the project’s data. Indeed, the OpenStreetMap project’s goal is to freely provide the best data for accurate and readable background maps.
OpenStreetMap owes its success to our millions of volunteers who share our vision and invest their time to maintain and improve the data. Many became contributors after starting as users. While most OSM-based maps are independently deployed, operators recognise the benefit of highlighting their use of OpenStreetMap. We believe end users realise that they can improve their experience by improving the map data. Thus, there are compelling reasons to attribute OpenStreetMap, even beyond the legal obligation. Unfortunately page that was mentioned does not provide this required attribution.
You use our data in the maps displayed on mentioned site . We are happy to see our data used, and we hope uses such as yours can help attract more contributors to the map.
We very much regret that the obligatory attribution of OpenStreetMap is missing from your maps. Just as you would credit a photographer when using his or her images, you are required to do the same when you use OpenStreetMap data. Our licence, although “Free and Open” carries a small number of conditions, one of which is the requirement to provide correct attribution.
As noted in our Attribution Guidelines ( https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Attribution_Guidelines ) the credit can appear in a corner of the map.
While the lower right corner is traditional, any corner of the map is acceptable. Alternatively, the attribution may be placed adjacent to the map or on a splash screen or pop-up shown when a user starts the app, device, website, etc.
We are sure that you will recognise the importance of rectifying this oversight and bringing your product into compliance with the licence under which our data is made available to you. Remember, not only is this a legal condition of your use of OSM, it also respects the volunteers who made your map and it helps encourage your users to improve it. Full details on how to attribute OpenStreetMap can be found in the Attribution Guideline ( https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Attribution_Guidelines ).

It's seems website is not blocked or they have switched to another server
Blocks are not 100% effective, and some of tile usage policy violation make possible to avoid it for now. But there are steps taken to handle that.
