A3 latex page numbering

Question

I am writing my end of studies project report on latex (overleaf). I had to use A3 size pages to insert large size charts and tables but had two issues:

1 / The numbering of the A3 page is no longer displayed (knowing that I use the "plain" style) because I had to change the page margins (to display the graphic centered in the middle). How could I display it at the bottom center?

2 / The numbering of the A4 page which directly follows the A3 page has moved to the middle of the page What to do, please?

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[paper=A4,pagesize]{typearea}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{afterpage}
\begin{document}
\afterpage{
\clearpage
\pagestyle{plain}
\KOMAoptions{paper=a3,paper=landscape}
\addtolength{\hoffset}{-17.0cm}
\addtolength{\voffset}{-5.0cm}
\recalctypearea
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=3.5\textwidth]{GanttT.PNG}
\caption {Diagramme de Gantt}
\label{fig:vo-business-schema}
\end{figure}
\clearpage
\KOMAoptions{paper=A4,pagesize}
\recalctypearea
}
\newpage
\pagestyle{plain}
\section*{Conclusion}
\end{document}

When including graphics, in the future please use \usepackage[demo]{graphicx} as the package option and use \includegraphics["options"]{demo} in the main body, as your example cannot compile due to us not having access to your GanttT.PNG.

I have changed your code quite a lot but it does as you require (page number centred on A3 page, revert back to A4 page normally):

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[usegeometry]{typearea}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{geometry}
% Assumed a geometry, delete both \newgeometry commands to use the default geometry of your document
\newgeometry{inner=2.5cm,outer=2.5cm,top=3cm,bottom=3cm}
\newcommand\paperAThreeLandscape{%
    \cleardoublepage%
    \KOMAoptions{paper=A3,paper=landscape,DIV=last}%
    \newgeometry{margin=1in}%
    }
\newcommand\afterPaperChange{%
    \clearpage%
    \KOMAoptions{paper=A4,paper=portrait,pagesize}%
    \recalctypearea%
    \newgeometry{inner=2.5cm,outer=2.5cm,top=3cm,bottom=3cm} % Change geometry to what it was set to before
    }
\begin{document}
\section*{Before gantt}
\clearpage
\pagestyle{plain}
\paperAThreeLandscape
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth,height=15cm]{demo}
\caption {Diagramme de Gantt}
\label{fig:vo-business-schema}
\end{figure}
\afterPaperChange
\newpage
\pagestyle{plain}
\section*{Conclusion}
\end{document}

This produces this on the A3 page (note the black rectangle is the demo graphic):

And this on the A4 page:

I cannot remember where I got the code (or parts of it anyway) for changing paper size midway through a document but I think it was from Martin Scharrer. Change the height option on include graphics to suit your requirements, I selected 15cm just because. Change the margin of the A3 page to what you require too, 1in was selected as that is what I use in my files. I removed the afterpage package, if this is unacceptable then I do not how to do what you require within the confines of that package but hopefully someone else can! Hope this helps.
