I applied for a C type Schengen Visa at the French Embassy in Antananarivo, Madagascar.
My plan is to go to Austria (as primary destination) first and then on to France.
My visa contains a remark R/AT, what does that mean?

Thank you for your answer. But does that prevent me from staying for few days in France? Thanks– user105117Commented Nov 3, 2019 at 4:14

No, it does not. You can go to France.– Hanky PankyCommented Nov 3, 2019 at 8:13

Mandatory entries to be added in the ‘COMMENTS’ section
— in the case of a visa issued on behalf of another Member State pursuant to Article 8, the following mention is added: ‘R/[Code of represented Member State]’
It was issued on behalf of Austria.
Source: REGULATION (EC) No 810/2009 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 13 July 2009 establishing a Community Code on Visas (Visa Code), Annex VII, 9 (a).
As a follow-up of @user24582 correct answer:
The C-Visa issued for Austria was issued by France:
- France
- Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain
- Switzerland
- Hungry, Netherlands, Norway, Poland and Sweden
- Unknown
- Denmark, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Slovakia
It is not all that easy to find the needed information about who represents who.
Other sources:
- List of diplomatic missions in Madagascar
- Annex 22 National entries in the "comments" section of the visa sticker
- Pdf with a list of country specific codes/remarks
