When you need to change your IP address to a French one you don’t have many alternatives. Most of the hide IP tools available on the market use US servers, providing US IP addresses. Here several ways to get a French IP:
1. Use Web Proxies
Web proxies are very simple to use and you don’t have to install anything. Just visit the proxy, type in the desired URL and press the Go or Submit button. The site will be loaded from the IP of the proxy not from your IP address. The major problem of web proxies is the speed that is quite low.
On Hide-IP-Proxy.info you can find several proxies located on French servers.
2. Manually change your IP using paid or open proxies
Another solution to consider is to manually change your IP. Go to sites that list proxies (e.g. SamAir.ru), find a proxy from France and then change your browser’s settings to use that proxy. Take for example: 89.2.169.141:8000 and configure your browser to use it when you connect to the internet.

3. Use a software that exposes French IP address
As far as I know, there is no free hide IP that can change your IP address to a French one. But there are paid solutions like Invisible Browsing and IP Privacy. If you are interested in IP Privacy you can benefits from a 50% discount (only during March 2009) exclusively for my readers. Read more here.
4. Use a VPN service
VPN services offer great browsing speed and high level of anonymity. It is probably the best choice when it comes to hide your real IP address, but they are not free. Here is a list of VPN services that offer access to French servers.
To sum up, there are not many options when you need to change your IP address to one from France. The easiest one is by using web proxies, but due performance problems (speed) you may also consider the other options listed above.

You can go to this proxy list:

choose a french proxy and set it in your browser. thats it.
I think It is worth to mention about free UltraVPN Service – http://www.ultravpn.fr
It gives you French IP as well as US IP. They don’t allow to use torrents. Also I had some problems with opening https sites. But It is a good service in general.
Hm ive tried , but Ultravpn.fr doesnt seem to work anymore..
Does Anyone know another software that encrypts the ip address to a french one?
