Do you have the french dictionary installed? Verify that myspell-fr-gut is installed and that under Tools->Options->Language Settings->Languages->Western is set to French and that there is a "ABC" with checkmark icon next to it. The icon indicates that a valid dictionary is installed. If it still doesn't show up then go to File->Wizards->Install new dictionaries and install a French dictionary which should resolve the problem.
Please let me know if this solves your problem.
