I doubt anyone here knows much about French WiFi, but I'll bet that if you
ask in a French-speaking forum, even if your write in English, you'll get a
response.

I didn't see the original post.

The question is too open-ended.

If you are in a "hot-spot", it doesn't really matter who is offering
it or who the underlying ISP is.

I presume you'll have a lap-top. If so, then open it and look for an
unsecure network. If you can connect and get an IP assignment, then
you have internet access.

If you're in an area that's covered by a pay-only wireless provider,
then you can usually fork over your credit-card info right through
your browser to get an hour or a day's worth of connectivity.

Most European hotels will want an extra 5 to 15 euros per day for
wifi. If you opt for that, they will give you a card with an access
code that they will validate and that you will use each time you
connect to their wifi network.

One thing I find useful when I travel with a laptop is to use a
program called PC-Telephone. I can make IP-to-IP phone calls, and I
have my home PC set up to receive calls (and it helps to know the IP
address of the machine I'm calling). And it's a totally free phone
call (assuming you've connected to a free wifi hotspot (or someone's
un-secured residential wifi router).
