I didn't say anything like that at all.

You have two issues:

1. Does your telephone carrier (i.e. the company that sold you the SIM) allow roaming outside Italy with a prepaid SIM? (Many do not; I have no idea about yours.)

2. Is your Italian GSM phone carrier unlocked so you can use a SIM from a French carrier?
