I have a French Postcode map which looks fine on screen. It's CRS is EPSG 2154 – RFG93/Lambert 93. Pretty much any French shapefile when added looks like it's leaning back suggesting to me, I'm no expert in this area, that the projection is wrong. I can see both views for each layer when I use zoom to layer on the layer in question but they are never together.
I have tried set layer and specifying the Lambert CRS and save it and open it. Still the same!
I also have a French Gazetteer text file which has lat/long. When I import that – same problem. Seems to revert to a CRS/projection/thingy that means it's leant back in the picture, and I can't see it on my main map.
Have had same issue with UK data so it's something I am doing wrong rather than the data.
Where am I going wrong?

You seem to have forgotten to tick a box (Enable on the fly transformation"). Have a look below.
For the aspect you mention, your project or your data might be in EPSG:4326 (WGS84), which would explain the compressed aspect... Have a look below to have an idea.
EPSG:4326
EPSG:2154
Check project properties in the Project menu and check if you have the same as me.
