    Currently you need to have a trademark in France OR a limited company in France in order to register a .fr as a business.
    Even if you have a TM covering France you would still need an address in France

    For a private individual you would need an address in France


    The .fr registry (AFNIC) is currently reviewing their rules and regulations and *hopefully* at some point in the next 12 to 24 months the rules will be relaxed more.
