I don't think the french will allow you to register if you are not a
local ISP or a company. No one change these policies if thats the French
NIC's policy. Only way to do this might be to get a French ISP or a
company to register this for you...get them to put your primary &
Secondary DNS servers.  Otherwise you will have the french NIC pointing
to the French ISP or whoever and they pointing to you etc....becomes
more invloved.

I know these guys ..I have met them before. But that doesn't mean even I
can get a domain registered in .fr if it is not the policy. Try writing
to them or look at NIC's website to see what the policy is.
