Virtually all phones sold in France are "locked" with one single provider, and unlocking costs between 15-50 euros depending on the phone. If your model of phone is also sold here, I guess you can have it unlocked here in Paris as well. If you can read French, apparently these guys
http://www.deblocage.net/ do the unlocking online; or I'll help you with the translation. I have never tried them, though.
I read French and I don't care what this website says. I have never heard of being able to unlock a Motorola with a code and I have been a member of
Howard Forums for years.
I watched my quad-band Motorola as it was unlocked by Orange at their Place de la Madeleine shop using a cable connected to a computer.
Caveat emptor.
