Yes they did
It was GC I/145, mainly formed by Polish Pilots, they scored victories, but also suffered losses, and major default of the plane was the unreliabilty of the Renault engine.
The AC was underpowered, an improvement was made by the successor Caudron C 760, but only one prototype was built before France defeat in June 40.
And as far as I know, the few (6 if I remember well) delivered to Finland where assembled and flight tested, but nether saw combat because of those reliability problems. One of these planes is preseved in Finland air museum.
